Notes
You can use any vegetables of your choice like carrots or potato or peas.
Adding ghee gives a rich taste.
Adding lemon juice is must because that gives tartness to this biryani. Please dont avoid it.
I used 3 green chilly, if you want less spicy. Reduce it to 2. Green chilly adds a flavor to this rice.
If you want, you can add garam masala.
