Biryani/Vegetable Biryani(Step By Step Pics)

             To cook a perfect biryani is very hard(at least to me). In Tamilnadu muslim Biryani is very famous. Most popular biryani joints have a version of Muslim biryani. Going to India every time to eat good biryani  is out of the question but in this social media world we can accomplish anything right?
            A small story about biryani .. right after our graduation a good friend of mine got married . He was the first person from our batch to get married , many of us attended the marriage. This was a muslim wedding mind you and people were drooling about the biryani lunch. But little did I know that it would only be a Biryani lunch with sides and desserts of course. As you guys know I am a hardcore veggie and I expected a few veg dishes. Any ways to cut the long story short few friends of mine went to a local joint and got me some veggie food. All my friends made fun of me saying that I was the first and only person who ate a veggie lunch in a Muslim wedding!
       Coming to the biryani, I am no expert in biryani cooking. My husband makes a super tasty Vegetable biryani. This time he made it in a pressure cooker and I captured it. Pressure cooker Vegetable Biriyani was so tasty .

Tomato Pulav -Thakkali satham

All of us love the convenience of a one pot meal for a week day dinner. This is a one pot meal which can be done in no time. My mom used to make tomato masala rice for lunch during our school days. We used to leave out the tomatoes and just eat the rice. To make us eat the tomatoes she used to grind them and use the ground paste to prepare the masala.

This recipe is from my mother in law. She makes a killer tomato Pulav by using tomato puree and coconut. My hubby and my daughter love this dish a lot. This is an easy way to get kids to eat tomatoes. Trust me they will love it.

Mint Pulav -Pudina Saadam

I love making one pot meals.You can make a weekday lunch in no time. Today I made Mint Pulav and Carrot Raitha to go with it. My Hubby and Daughter loved it.

Mint has medicinal properties and is known to aid digestion. In general I try to use greens in our every day diet.
