Easy Vegetable Biryani

Serves : 6

This morning I had just one hour to make dinner for my family to eat as I wasn’t going to be home at night. I whipped together this easy vegetable biryani using the vegetables I had on hand. It’s one of those dishes that works with almost any vegetable. You can also use cauliflower, eggplant or squash. I also prepared some cucumber raita (yogurt) to go with it.

Try it out and let us know how your version turned out!
