Vegetable Biryani

Biryani is a popular Indian dish and I am here to introduce the Vegetable Biryani. It is a delicacy for people who love healthy food as well as those who are vegetarian. This one-pot meal is packed with aromatic spices, nutrient-rich vegetables, and creamy coconut milk. The basmati rice is cooked in a flavorful mixture of onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and garam masala, and the vegetables add a delicious crunch. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and a pinch of salt. This vegan biryani is an easy and delicious meal that is sure to become a family favorite.
