Dear friends, another simple vegetable biryani by the cook in Trichy.
Very simple ingredients, one pot meal.
He made vegetable kurma for this biryani. I asked him, why the same kurma with the same vegetables. Well he gave me a simple rich onion gravy recipe. Very yummy. I used seera samba rice.
I will post it later. Thanks and take care, Kugan98
