This dish is not only a treat to the tongue, but also to the nose and eyes!! The aromas of the spices used in this low-cal Vegetable Biryani are wonderfully appetizing. Loved its richness in the mouth and lightness on the body!

I really liked the recipe.It is one of the good biryanis I tasted so far.Normally,the layer type cooking is pretty tedious but this one was relatively easy.Gets done in less than an hour.No complicated ingredients,all of them available at home.It is a must try!!!

Nice Aroma.. the slow cooking on top of the tava marinated the whole biryani with the flavor.. Also, easy to prepare..
