Brown Rice Vegetable Biryani Recipe - Vegetarian brown rice biryani in pressure cooker

brown rice biryani recipe
Brown rice veg biryani is my recent try using Sona masoori brown rice. I usually make brown rice idli,dosa. But I have not used brown rice for our lunch.Yesterday I bought a pack of India Gate brown rice( Not brown basmati) for the first time and tried this biryani in a pressure cooker. I did not have any idea of how to cook brown rice.So I tried to cook the rice like our usual white rice biryani & it became a super flop after cooking for 20 minutes in pressure cooker.The outer bran of brown rice was not cooked at all.Then I browsed through some websites and came to know brown rice has to be soaked for a minimum of one hour.I added more water,kept for another 20 minutes and finally my rice was cooked soft and great. Biryani was very nice and flavorful. But it really tested my patience and I was not able spend time to click good pictures as our tummies were rumbling out of hunger.Cooking brown rice is very easy only if you soak it for more than an hour.You can also opt for frying the rice adding ghee to make it more flavorful.I will try to make a separate post on cooking brown rice using various methods.Here I have used mixed vegetables like carrot,beans and potato.U can also try with marinated chicken for non-veg options.So friends I have altered the recipe based on my experience.I hope u can make it perfect by following this recipe.I am happy to share this healthy brown rice biryani as my 30th post in Sunday lunch recipes series.Ok,lets see how to make this Indian style brown rice biryani.

Pot Biryani Recipe/Matka Veg Biryani/ Manpaanai biryani -Vegetarian Version

I think most of you would have heard about or tasted pot veg biryani @ Matka veg biryani / manpaanai biryani in Restaurants. I came to know about this biryani from a friend recently. I browsed few recipes & watched you tube video to get some idea. Most of them were non-veg versions using marinated chicken. But as usual, I replaced chicken with paneer pieces, made few changes in the actual recipes and came up with this post. I guess most of the people in India must be having a clay pot at home. Some people might be making gravies/Vatha kuzhambu/Sunda kulambu with it. 

Do try this layer biryani using earthen pot/Matka for a change.You will love its flavor. The layered rice & the gravy cooked in slow fire lends an awesome taste. This is my 29th biryani recipe in my Sunday Lunch Recipes series. I am planning to finish this series with 2 more posts & thinking to start some other useful series for beginners. Do leave your suggestions in the comment box if you expect/need anything to be shared in this blog. I will surely try to implement them. Thanks for showing your continuous support & love across this series ! Lets check out how to make Vegetarian Matka biryani/Pot biryani recipe with stepwise pictures.

To garnish
  • Fried onion - a handful
  • Saffron milk - 2 tbsp

HOW TO MAKE MATKA VEG BIRYANI - METHOD
  • Wash & soak basmati rice for minimum 30 minutes. Boil 5 cups of water adding whole spices & the required salt. When the water comes to boil,add the rice.Cook the rice till its 75% done. Cooked Rice should break into two but not mashed. Drain the excess water & remove the rice in a plate. Let it cool.
  • Boil some water in a bowl. Add the chopped paneer pieces. Let it be in water till use. Chop the onions & tomatoes.Fry one sliced onion till its golden brown and remove in a plate.
  • Heat oil in a mud pot and saute bayleaf, onions. Saute well. Add G&G paste. Add chopped tomatoes & saute till mushy. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, dhania powder & garam masala powder. Saute well adding some salt. When it becomes thick,add 1/4 cup of curd & mix well.When it becomes a semi gravy, add the paneer pieces. Mix well.Remove half of the gravy in a bowl. Make sure there is some water in the gravy.

  • Take the mud pot with some gravy and spread a layer of rice. Now layer the gravy with the remaining rice.Spread the mint+coriander leaves & fried onions on top.Sprinkle the saffron milk. Drizzle the ghee. Close it with a thermal foil and close it with a plate. Keep a bowl full of water over the plate. Put the mud pot in DUM under very low flame for 5-8 minutes. If you keep it for long time, there are chances for the bottom layer to be burnt.
  • Suppose if you want to put this mixture in DUM for long time, heat a dosa tawa in high flame for 10 minutes & place the mud pot with thermal foil arrangements on top of the tawa. Let it heat in low flame for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy !
Note
  • Adjust the quantity of spices as per your taste..
  • You can replace paneer with mixed vegetables. But pressure cook the veggies before you add them in gravy.
  • Make sure there is some water content in the gravy else biryani would burn.


Try this easy,flavorful pot biryani.Enjoy your Sunday Lunch !

As I had mentioned in my KFC Veg strips recipe post, my daughter Raksha is a big fan of KFC recipes. After trying veg strips recipe successfully,my next target was KFC’s Veg Rice bowlz. Rice bowlz is nothing but Indian style Layered biryani made with flavored rice & gravy. I was looking for a copycat recipe & I found it here.  I tried it twice by making small changes. It came out really well and tasted close to the KFC ones ( not 100%). 

Yesterday I made rice bowls along with KFC Veg stripsFrench fries and Veggie burger recipes for our Sunday special lunch. Raksha and Sendhil enjoyed it a lot. I felt very happy that I was able to make Restaurant style Lunch menu at home. Friends do try this recipe if you love KFC stuffs. I am sure you will make it more often in your kitchen. Lets see how to make the most popular KFC Veg Rice Bowlz Recipe with stepwise pictures in my Sunday Lunch Recipe series 26.
