Vegetable Pulao/Biryani Recipe
Author: admin
Vegetable Biryani or Pulao recipe is a flavored rice recipe which includes cooking rice with vegetables and spices. Long-grained rice varieties like Basmati are the best for preparing biryani/pulao. You can also use Sona Masoori or Jeera Samba rice. In this recipe I have also used coconut milk, mint and coriander for added aroma and flavor.
