My sons doesn’t prefer typical South Indian full meals on daily basis even though they have lunch at home only weekend normally Sunday either I do Puli kulambu, Mor kulambu or one pot meals. They like mixed vegetable biryani or rices. I wanted to try Paneer Vegetable Makhani biryani. It is rich and creamy one pot meal. It tasted great. For sure you won’t get disappointed. This is similar to Jaipuri vegetable pulav but the way it is cooked is different. My sons told me both are very different.. They like this one more. They finished their plate faster than usual.
