Biryani Rice with Vegetables

medium

Biryani Rice is a fragrant and flavourful South Asian rice dish known for its rich and aromatic taste. It is a beloved and iconic dish with regional variations throughout the Indian subcontinent. The components of Biryani Rice include long-grain Basmati rice, a variety of spices, and vegetables.
 
Inspired by our friend Rohini’s flavourful creation, Biryani Rice with Vegetables is a stunning dish. We’ve given it a new twist by incorporating Mahavira’s Feast spice blend in place of whole spices. This aromatic blend elevates the dish with its rich flavors.
 
For the freshest taste, using fresh vegetables is ideal, but you can also achieve fantastic results with frozen ones.

Biryani Rice with Vegetables

Years ago we tried a fragrant rice dish made by our friend Rohini. It was quite spicy and had a beautiful presentation. We recently made the dish using Mahavira's Feast in place of the whole spices in Rohini’s recipe. Fresh vegetables are best, but frozen will do fine.
