Love to eat vegetable biryani, but feeling lazy to do on a weekend or busy weekdays, then try this easy vegetable biryani recipe in cooker. As name suggest, this biryani is very easy to make and is loaded with lots of healthy vegetables and aromatic spices. This is one of my favourite one pot meal which is rich in taste yet simple to make because of the addition of ghee( clarified butter)and milk. You can also make this biryani with an alternate flavor profile by adding coconut milk, but in this preparation I added cows milk.
Making vegetable biryani recipe in pressure cooker is very easy … just temper the spices in ghee , throw some onion, tomatoes, green chillies, all the colourful veggies and salt, saute for few mins, finally add required water and rice and cook until done( pressure cookers might vary ) . Hot flavourful vegetable biryani recipe is ready in minutes. It goes well with spicy gravies like aloo palak,korma, cucumber raita or potato chips.

Tips

- Use coconut milk in place of cows milk to get a rich taste.
- If you don’t have whole spices, just add 1 tsp of garam masala.
- Don’t break the rice while mixing.

- If you feel lazy to grind ginger garlic paste, finely chop the ginger and garlic, add it to the oil, saute well until raw smell vanishes.
