Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani has been on my to do list for the longest period. I was so glad that I finally made it and everybody at home simply loved it. I am sure this is something that's going to be made again. Though the process seem lengthy, if you have the biryani masala powder on hand, then making this is really not so tough. When I decided that I was going to be making Biryani's for the last week, I took a list of different type of biryanis that I have been long wanting to try. And unknowingly all of them ended up being cooked in dum.

Cool Lassi(e) says
Great step by step pictures for the Hyderabadi Biryani. When I do the dum by giving indirect heat via the dosa tava, it ruins the tava. How about yours?
Srivalli Jetti says
Thanks everybody!
CL I don't use the same tawa for making dosas. This tawa is an iron cast one that's used only for this Dum purpose and for making Jonna roti..:). Else as you said the tawa will get spoiled.
