Though I make this chutney often,never had a chance to click it for the blog.Last week I had lots of home grown fresh mint and made this chutney.This chutney is a perfect accompaniment for idly,dosa,rava dosa and paniyaram.This recipe I noted down from my mom when I came to U.S after marriage.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.                                                                                                                                  ...
