this &
this blogs,i became very happy and bookmarked them immediately.I was expecting coconut in the recipe but to my surprise the recipe & making is very similar to Hyderabad DUM biryani sans saffron.I just combined both the blog recipes and it came out awesome.I was happy with this Veg DUM biryani recipe.Everyone loved its taste & flavor.If u don’t want to follow DUM method,u can make it simple by just sauting everything in cooker base as we do for our normal biryani.I had tried this in either ways.It tastes good.So try this biryani for your family,friends & relatives and take the credits!!

- After the steam is released,open the cooker & mix the masala.Make sure the masala is not too dry.If it looks dry,add 1/4 cup of water,give a boil & make it wet with moisture content.
- Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a kadai & roast onions & cashews till golden brown.Set aside.
- Now take a kadai or a pot with flat bottom.Spread one layer of rice & sprinkle few drops of lemon juice.Now spread a layer of cooked vegetable masala over the rice.Sprinkle some Finely chopped mint & coriander leaves.Again spread the rice,then masala & mint leaves.Repeat the same until all the rice & masala are over.Lastly add the fried onions & cashews.Cover the kadai with a suitable tight flat lid.
- For DUM : Heat a dosa pan in high flame for 3 minutes & after the pan is heated well,simmer the flame completely.Keep the biryani pot/Kadai.Boil water in a bowl and keep the boiled water above the biryani pot/kadai.Let it sit for 10 minutes in very low flame.If u feel,vapour comes out of the kadai,wrap the mouth of kadai/Pot with thermal foil before u put in dum.If u have a tight lid,then u don’t have to wrap the pan.After 10 minutes,remove the pan and fluff the rice with a fork.Serve hot with raita.

Note
- Adjust the quantity of spices as per ur taste.
- U can also add saffron soaked milk while layering.
- U can put the Dum using pressure cooker but keep the cooker directly over very low flame for 5-10 minutes.
