Vegetable Biriyani

I usually make it when I want to put less effort and eat something very tasty. But I usually end up spending lot of time as I end up making a side dish apart from raita.

Ingredients

2 cups basmati rice
Chopped Onions 2 (medium sized)
Chopped Tomatoes 2 (small sized)
Beans 10-12
Green peas 1/2 cup
Mushrooms 2-3 sliced thinly
Chopped green chillies 5
Chilli powder 1 tsp
Coconut milk 1/2 cup
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Salt according to taste
Coriander leaves

Directions - How to make
Soak the rice in water for some time. Heat the oil and little ghee in a pressure cooker. Add the green chillies, chopped onion, garam masala, ginger garlic paste and tomatoes. Fry them well one by one. Add the cut vegetables to it. Blend them well. Fry for 2 minutes. Add 3 cups of water and half cup coconut milk to it. When it comes to a boil, add the rice and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Taste the water and if you feel it's less spicy add chilli powder and finally put the coriander leaves and close the lid. Pressure cook for 2-3 whistles. Serve hot with raita.
