This easy Vegetable Biryani recipe comes handy when you have leftover cooked rice or try something new. One pot meal always comes handy be it when you want to pack for office or when you want to travel. Especially when you plan for a picnic, I am sure you will want to pack something that is not messy and easy to pack. But at the same time, full of balanced nutrition in your box.
On a regular basis, I plan for one pot meals twice a week. Makes a great way to include all the vegetable in one meal. Finding another recipe that turns out well is a real boon. Enjoy this wonderful blend of spices with vegetables in a rice.
What's even better is you can make this dish with leftover rice too.

Veg biryani is the most favored one pot meal. I don't usually add tomatoes while grinding. It surely adds some color to the rice.
