When I thinking something to make with whole eggplants suddenly I remembered the recipe which I noted down couple of months back.This recipe is a dry version and it doesn't need tomato also but if you want with gravy then go head and add one chopped tomato.It tastes great with rasam and curd rice,now lets move on to the recipe........................................

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
