A quick recipe on the blog today.. Made this vegetable rice for our dinner and this is my go-to faux Biryani recipe..No elaborate steps yet very flavorful and delicious. I have used Onion,Carrot, Beans, Potato & Capaicum & peas in this recipe. If you want you can add cauliflower, broccoli,sweet corn and even mushroom, paneer or tofu. The folllwing measurement serves 4.
I cook my Basmati Rice separately for just few minutes.. Once it is 3/4th cooked I remove from boiling water and keep it aside. Then I mix it with vegetable base and let it get cooked for 10 minutes.
Thank God for longer days here I managed to click better pic of the rice even at night today.
