Cabbage Biryani
A unusual combo in biryani, but really works. I had a head of cabbage lying in my fridge, and i wanted to use that up in a recipe. So decided to try a biryani with it, i also added some cooked soya chunks to it and final dish came out really good. You can check out all my veg biryani recipe here, i have quite a few collection.
You can make this with basmati rice, but i used seeraga samba rice, loved the aroma of that rice and using it a lot nowadays. This biryani can be served with raita of your choice..So try this out and let me know how it turns out for you.

My husband wouldn't believe me when I said that we were having cabbage biryani for dinner. But he liked it a lot (he loves biryani with anything 🙂 I didn't add soya chunks, because no one at home likes them much. I added some crispy-fried eggs, like in your egg biryani.
