This is a beautiful vegetarian biryani without the traditional touch of “dum” which deviates from the main procedure! i have also used powdered spices rather than whole as this ensures minimal wastage! this biryani can be ideally baked in the oven or put to cook over a tawa and it tastes absolutely delicious! this recipe is taken from nita mehta’s recipes and i have added a few of my twists to it! this is one of my best recipes till date and it is universally appreciated by my family and friends as well.
