I seldom make veggie biryani as my man is a hard core non-veg \ud83d\ude1b To satisfy him I always have to make some non-veg dishes to accompany with the veggie dishes. The other day, I didn&#8217;t have any meat in my freezer and so I went with veggie biryani. I did see a frown on my hubby&#8217;s face so I also made fried king fish for him which put a smile on his face.

We don&#8217;t have to deal with the meat nor with the marination and frying part as well. Veggie biryani can be made in a breeze, if you have a pressure cooker it&#8217;s much more easier as you just have to put all the veggies into the cooker and cook them, after that combine the veggie masala with the cooked basmati rice, garnish with raisins\/nuts\/fried onions etc.<\/p>\n<p>I had frozen mixed veggies in my freezer so I used those for making the veggie masala, that made my work much more easier. Without much effort, I made this delicious and finger liking biryani. Served with yogurt raita and pappad.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13224\" alt=\"vegetable biryani\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/vegetable-biryani1.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/vegetable-biryani1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/vegetable-biryani1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/vegetable-biryani1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13219 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-vegetable-biryani-recipe\/vegetable-masala\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/vegetable-masala-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13226\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13226'>\n\t\t\t\tveggie masala\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-vegetable-biryani-recipe\/veggie-biryani-making\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/veggie-biryani-making-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13227\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13227'>\n\t\t\t\trice combined with veggie masala\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-vegetable-biryani-recipe\/making-veggie-biryani\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/making-veggie-biryani-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13225\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13225'>\n\t\t\t\tafter adding roasted almonds\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/veggie-biryani.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Easy Vegetable Biryani<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">6 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To grind coarsely[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger, chopped- 2 inch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic- 3 cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cardamom- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cloves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cinnamon- 2 inch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole pepper corns- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Making Vegetable Masala[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ghee or clarified butter- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onions, cut long and thin &#8211;
