Occasionally, we love a change from our normal iyer food.
This week I prepared Hyderabadi Vegetable Dum Biryani for lunch. It is an
amazingly flavorful main course rice dish.The blending of Mughlai and Andhra
Pradesh cuisines in the kitchens of the Nizam, ruler of the historic Hyderabad
State, resulted in the creation of Hyderabadi Biryani. An amazing flavorsome
Hyderabadi vegetable biriyani based on basmati rice and a medley of mixed
vegetables, yoghurt, golden fried onions, tomatoes ,nuts & spices and
always slow cooked on dum. This cooking on dum gives the biryani its uniqueness
and originality.I adapted this recipe from here.
Instead of Garam masala I made home made Biriyani masala Powder.
