About
Veg Biryani is a popular dish made with rice, vegetables, and spices. It is usually served with raita, a yogurt-based condiment. The vegetables used in the dish vary, but typically include potatoes, carrots, peas, and cauliflower. The spices used to flavor the dish include cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves. The dish is usually cooked in a sealed pot, which helps to keep the flavors and aromas of the spices and vegetables inside. Veg Biryani is a delicious and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed as a main course.
