Our Perfect Vegetable Hyderabad Biryani
Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick saucepan and add the spices from the spice pouch. Cook until they puff up, around 20 seconds. Add 2 handfuls of mixed vegetables - we like to add diced carrot, small cauliflower florets, peas and green beans. Season lightly, sauté for 2-3 minutes, add in the sauce and bring to a simmer covered, on a gentle heat, until the vegetables are done to your liking - another 5 minutes or so. Stir in 1 rounded tbs. yoghurt.
Massage the rice pouch to break up any lumps and pour evenly over the vegetables. Cover the pot and steam over a gentle heat for 5 minutes or until the rice has steamed and heated through.
Traditionally, this dish is garnished with crispy fried onions and saffron infused milk. For this, simmer a pinch of saffron in 2 tbs. hot milk or water for 30 seconds and leave to infuse for another 5-10 minutes. Drizzle over the rice before steaming. Fry sliced onions in hot oil until golden. They will crisp up.
Serve with plain yoghurt or a crunchy raita.
Also delicious with chicken thighs, lamb, prawns, chickpeas, mushrooms, vegetables, paneer and so much more.
Hyderabad biryanis often have some fresh coriander or mint added to the sauce.
When using a vegetarian option, you might want to add a 1-2 tbs. yoghurt to the sauce to mellow the spices so they don’t overpower the gentler ingredients. For lots of delicious recipes, please look at the recipes in our ‘Cook’ section.
