This vegetable rice is an easy and ideal one to pack for lunch box . Normally i make this during Monday mornings as it is quite lazy to get back into the normal after a weekend. I think most of us have this Monday blues!!. Vegetable Rice or Vegetable Biryani ( my son calls in this way) how ever you name it, it is one of the simplest one and made in a jiffy too. The best part is no need to grind any ingredients and is a simple one pot meal to have to Sunday Brunch too.

I bet you'd never realise the missing flavour of onion-garlic in such a lovely recipe! Carrots put apart it's an amazing Jain meal!
Easy recipe in busy mornings...Looks yummy..Happy yo follow you dear..:)
Nice one pot meal..looks very appetising.
Love these kinds of quick and delicious rice recipes....I like your polka dotted table cloth
Very interesting and definitely a super flavourful rice dish even without onion and garlic..
I think I need to buy a small cooker for such dishes. The electric rice cooker sometimes does not work as well for these simple recipes. They get too dry. This one seems as if you have a ground masala and yet you have used only dry powders. Nice!
Healthy one pot meal,luks delicious...
Looks yum!

Hi jaya, the last two biryani pics colors are different.. we will get the final pic color?
Hi
The color depends on the red chilli powder u use. The pics vary as the lighting was dull and low in the kitchen. U will get the nice color
Can I put it in a rice cooker instead of pressure cooker? My mum doesn't want me to use the pressure cooker...
If it can be done in a rice cooker, how should I do it?
Thank you 🙂
Yes you can put in the rice cooker. Just saute everything in a pan and add it to a rice cooker
