Notes

1.Add other preferred vegetables of one's choice such as phool gobi/cauliflower, soya chunks, paneer etc...
2.Adding oil in certain steps is very important and not doimg so makes the biryani very dry.
3.Soaking the basmati rice helps the grains to become longer in length while cooking.
4.Preparing the veg mixture without stir frying the vegetables gives a raw taste and it definitely does not give out a good taste to the biryani . If one is looking for a good taste then do stir fry the vegetables in oil.
