About this Recipe
Vegetable biryani is a fragrant rice dish made with basmati rice, vegetables, herbs, and biryani spices. If made by layering and cooking on dum, veg biryani is just as good as non-veg biryani. The vegetables and spices combine to create a medley of flavours and aromas that will tantalise your taste buds just as much as a biryani
with meat would.
Mangalore has its own take on the country's most famous delicacy, Biryani. There are many restaurants in the city that serve various rice delicacies such as Shahi Biryani, Prawn Biryani, and the most popular, Beary Chicken Biryani.

What is the difference between veg biryani and pulao?
Biryani is prepared using the draining method of cooking, which entails par-boiling the rice in water, then draining, drying, and layering it. Pulao is made using the absorption method, which means that the rice and vegetables absorb all of the water or stock.
Ingredients for Mangalorean Style Vegetable Biryani
Basmati Rice:
To attain the best results, the basmati rice should be fragrant and long-grained. The best results will come from aged basmati rice.
Turmeric Powder :
The turmeric root is quite bitter, but has an almost citrusy taste, compared to the powder. Turmeric also has something of a sweet taste, and it is quite earthy. When you use the powder, you're unlikely to notice the texture unless you use a substantial amount, but it is somewhat gritty
Tomatoes:
Tomato flavour is frequently described as sweet, tart, tangy, or well- balanced. Tomato flavour is also known as classic tomato flavour or old-fashioned tomato flavour; in some cases. Some tomatoes are described as having a mild or bland flavour.
