Biryani is what i often make, atleast once in two weeks. Since it is so easy to make, plus it taste divine. I have quite a few biryani recipes in my blog and each one is made different. Biryani taste different each time by the veggies you use and the method you make.

Similar Recipes,

Adding herbs like coriander and mint is common in biryani, because that is what gives the favour and aroma to the biryani. But this is a minty biryani recipe, it has lots of mint leaves and veggies to make this which gives a nice aroma to this dish. 
Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turned out for you..

    I had to make some adjustments based on what I had on hand (I didn't have fennel seeds and I used mushrooms and peas for the vegetables). But thank you so much for the inspiration! It turned out so delicious!!! My 16 month old ate it up like crazy. And he normally isn't a fan of rice.
