To Prepare Vegetable Biryani
Heat oil in a wide-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add cinnamon stick, star anise, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, and green chili. Sauté until fragrant.
Add the onion and sauté until it becomes soft.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw aroma dissipates.
Add the tomatoes and sauté until they become mushy.
Incorporate chili, coriander, turmeric, allspice powder, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly.
Add beans, carrots, potatoes, and boiled green peas, and give them a quick toss.
Now, introduce curd and sauté for a minute.
Incorporate 1 spring of chopped mint leaves and sauté them well.
Pour ¼ cup of water into the pan, then cover it with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.
Once done, remove the lid and add the soaked basmati rice to the gravy mixture. Combine everything thoroughly.
Add 2 cups of water and mix everything well.
Now, introduce mint and coriander leaves, and mix them thoroughly.
Finally, drizzle ghee, sprinkle a pinch of allspice powder, and add orange food color to the biryani mix.
Close the pan and cook the biryani in dum (simmer) for 15 minutes over low-medium heat.
After 15 minutes, switch off the heat and fluff the biryani.
