Description

Hyderabadi biryani is a traditional food. It is a traditional celebration meal made using goat meat or chicken with rice and is a staple of Hyderabai  cuisine. This variety is very popular in the city of Hyderabad, India. The blending of Mughlai and Telangana  style of  kitchens of the Nizam, ruler of the historic Hyderabad State, resulted in the creation of Hyderabadi Biryani.

Try out and enjoy ..

Hyderabadi biriyani (Vegetable)

Notes

I did not use pressure cooker for doing this biryani. If using pressure cooker keep for 2 whistle and switch off.
When using chicken or mutton instead of vegetables, fry them well with masala till the oil leaves the mass and add the water and curd, then add rice.
Actually in this recipe i added red chilli powder just for the colour.
In the traditional recipe there was no red chilli powder and the biriyani will be in slight greenish colour. We can try it out in both the ways there was no difference in taste. For colour we can use saffron which will give light yellow colour in the biriyani.
