We all have those days we crave for simple yet delicious food, but don’t have much time in hands. I have a perfect solution for you – use your pressure cooker for a tasty one pot meal. I dont think anyone uses as much pressure cooking as we Indians do. I for one, am obsessed with my cookers. They are my saviors and often times, we can dump everything in and let the pressure cooker do its magic. Today’s recipe is one such convenient deliciousness – Vegetable Biryani in Pressure Cooker.
Making Vegetable Biryani in pressure cooker is a breeze, if you know the right proportions of liquid to rice and vegetables. Fret not, this video recipe for veg biryani covers it all and helps yield great results every single time. Growing up, Sunday always was a biryani day for us and one of the best memories of my childhood is opening up that pressure cooker lid to let the flavor of biryani fill our entire house. I prefer using the open pot method for making biryani when I have enough time and resort to making it in pressure cooker when I am pressed for time.
This vegetable biryani in pressure cooker is loaded with the goodness of vegetables and soya chunks. Not just that, it is very fragrant and delicious – thanks to the addition of coconut milk. Another variation of the same is to use coconut + poppy seeds paste instead and that gives an equally delicious vegetable biryani too! Another important thing with any pressure cooked rice or biryani is to cook it on low flame for one whistle and then wait until the pressure completely drops before opening the lid. This gives enough time for the vegetable biryani to rest and the grains fluff up nicely!
