For Ganesh Chaturthi we make variety of Kozhukattai to offer to Lord Ganesh(Pillaiyar).The main one is the purana kozhukattai made with the channa dhal stuffing in my mom's place.
But after coming to U.S,I make the simplified version of purana kozhukattai using coconut and jaggery.As Ganesh Chaturthi is around the corner I wanted to share this recipe under the Festival Theme for the Blogging Marathon #43.This stuffing can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.Off 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.                                                                                                                                  ...
