Ingredients:

  • 2 cups basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, potatoes), diced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • Assorted spices: 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 3-4 cardamom pods, 1-inch piece of cinnamon stick
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the soaked basmati rice. Cook the rice until it's about 70% done, then drain and set aside.

  2. Heat some oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

  3. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté until golden brown.

  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  5. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they break down and form a thick gravy.

  6. Mix in the diced mixed vegetables and cook for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.

  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and spices (ground coriander, turmeric powder, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick). Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir well to combine.

  8. Gently fold in the partially cooked basmati rice, making sure it's evenly coated with the vegetable and spice mixture.

  9. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the Biryani simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

  10. Once done, fluff the Biryani with a fork and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.

  11. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing burst of flavor.

  12. Enjoy the aromatic and flavorful Indian Vegetable Biryani as a satisfying main course or as part of a festive meal!
