2. Meanwhile, slash your vegetables and onion, powder the zest masala and after that the ginger-garlic-onion glue in the same processor

3. Drench a squeeze of saffron in 3 tbsp warm drain and put aside

4. Heat ¼ glass ghee in an overwhelming bottomed dish with a tight-fitting cover. This is the same skillet we will use to cook the dum biryani

5. Include the cut onions and keep fire at medium-low. Blend much of the time to guarantee notwithstanding broiling.

6. While the onions are singing, keep water in an extensive pot for cooking the rice

7. Convey the water to a moving bubble and include 1 tsp caraway seeds (shahjeera), 2 narrows leaves, 1 tsp oil, and some salt

8. Add the drenched rice to this and cook on medium-high warmth until the rice is ¾ cooked. When you take out one grain and nibble into it, it shouldn't be delicate and cooked completely

9. While the rice is cooking, watch out for the onions and channel when they are completely dim cocoa

10. In the same ghee, broil the cashew nuts, channel and after that sear the raisins and channel

11. The rice ought to now be finished. It took me around 10 minutes to get to the right stage. Channel the rice in a colander and cushion it with a fork

12. Presently, in the same container utilized for broiling the onions, top up the remaining ¼ glass ghee (see notes)

13. Include the ginger-garlic-stew glue and sear for a moment until fragrant

14. At that point include the coriander powder, stew powder, turmeric, and cumin powder

23. Once the vegetables are practically cooked (took me around 5-7 mins), turn off the warmth

Layering the biryani 

1.Presently we can begin layering the diverse parts of the biryani now

2. Evacuate half of the cooked vegetable blend to a plate

3. Layer a large portion of the cooked rice over this and top up with some browned onion, cashew nuts, raisins, coriander leaves, and mint clears out

3. At that point, close the skillet firmly with its top

4. Keep the warmth to most minimal conceivable and cook for around 15-20 minutes

5. Substitute techniques - you can utilize a perfect, clammy kitchen towel to cover the cooking container

6. You can likewise layer the fixings in a preparing dish, spread with aluminum thwart, and heat at 320F/160C for 15 minutes

7. Once done, reveal and delicately consolidate the layers so that the flavors get blended with the rice

8. Serve vegetable dum biryani with raita and mirchi ka salan

Notes: 

  • Alter bean stew powder and green stew to your inclination. This sum makes a sensibly hot biryani which suits our palates. Alternate flavors I have utilized is additionally on the substantial side so conform as needs be for a milder flavor 


  • You can include any vegetables of your decision such as peas, mushroom, and so forth 


  • The measure of ghee in this formula is liberal. I as a rule add this much to guarantee the biryani doesn't get blazed at the base amid dum cooking furthermore so it stores well. You can include lesser or even include 1/2 ghee + 1/2 oil 


  • Try not to skip drenching rice. Drenching basmati rice guarantees that it assimilates water amid the dousing handle and not all that much amid the cooking process which guarantees all the more uniformly cooked, firmer rice grains that stay separate. The best basmati rice for biryani is Kohinoor or India Gate (in my experience – no one is paying me to say this) 


  • Try not to skirt the fricasseed onions. It's totally key to convey the right flavor to dum biryani or any biryani so far as that is concerned 


  • The raisins are discretionary. The flavors you use for making the biryani masala is likewise up to you. I would prescribe to utilize cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and inlet leaf as an absolute minimum. 


  • The caraway seeds (shahjeera) have a more grounded flavor than cumin and taste extraordinary in biryani. In the event that you don't have any or don't have any desire to utilize them, you can simply add more cumin to the flavor powder keeping in mind cooking the rice (or just preclude it) 


  • Season the rice and the vegetables with salt. Along these lines you can guarantee the biryani will be all the more consistently salted 


  • Include some lime juice toward the end for some harshness. My dum biryani formula doesn't include tomatoes yet you can add some to the vegetables while they cook on the off chance that you lean toward 


  • Try not to hold back on coriander and mint clears out. Purchase them new and utilize liberally. 


  • Utilize the freshest vegetables feasible for greatest taste and flavor.
