Table of Content

Biryani is known to be a rich and luxurious preparation of rice and vegetables. While it traditionally contains oodles of ghee and oil, you will realise upon trying this intelligent version that the same richness can be brought out through the intensity of the spices and quantity of vegetables, without increasing the fat content. With aromatic spices and an assortment of veggies, this low-cal Vegetable Biryani is sure to pamper your taste buds as well as satiate you. It has ample amounts of vitamin A, iron and calcium, and is filling enough to be a one-dish meal as it is prepared with brown rice. Authentic recipes involve preparing the gravy and rice separately, followed by layering and baking them. However, to reduce the oil content, we have used more gravy than brown rice and cooked them all together.

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..
