Vegetable Biryani (Method 2)

This is version I made first within few weeks after my marriage. I am not a big fan of coconut. Infact till couple of years I don’t eat dishes with coconut. So right after marriage my husband ask for biryani I was not sure how to do it. I never bothered to learn from my mum as she uses coconut gravy to make her version of biryani (which I have posted earlier). So I have to rely on my bible those days — Malika Badrinath. When I saw this version, I jumped out of joy. It is my regulars whenever I invite guest at home. It is definitely healthier version and taste wise it is different from traditional versions but really yummy!
