I love to try different one pot meals / Biryani. My helper was talking about this biryani for quite sometime. But I was not sure and recently I saw this post in some blogs. Yakhni means Soup / stock. Cooking Rice and vegetables in spiced yakhni really gives nice tasty biryani. It is quite simple even bachelors can try it out. Perfect for lazy weekends or party rice. Since it is less masala you can easily pair with any side dish or raita. My helper told me normally this is done with chicken. I don’t cook Non veg at home. So I decided to do it with Vegetables. I didn’t add vegetables while cooking soup. As I wanted Vegetable to be more crispy not over cooked. But if you want you can add at the time you make soup and take it and use it for rice.
