When i was working,my colleague who is a bachelor used to bring this biryani at least twice in a week.It looks like a plain colored rice with vegetables here and there.Whenever we ask for the recipe,he simply says its a 10 minutes biryani using masala powder.When i was planning for this week’s Sunday Lunch recipes,this biryani flashed in my mind.I thought this recipe may be helpful for bachelors & working women to make a fatafat,simple and no grinding biryani recipe for lunch box.Actually i wanted to make this biryani in rice cooker but finally i used pressure cooker.Soon i will share a biryani recipe using electric rice cooker.I don’t want to create a hype by saying this biryani tastes awesome,rich,flavourful and all.Rather i would say,its a good biryani recipe with least spices.The result would be worthy for it and I am sure you will love the simplicity of this recipe.Just give a try
