Vegetable Biryani in Pressure Cooker

Monday night and hubby came home from the office. He said please make Biryani for dinner. I was not in a mood to make biryani in an authentic way. So made it in a Pressure cooker. I often make Vegetable Biryani, pulao or any rice preparation In Pressure Cooker when I don’t have enough time or feeling lazy ;). My Family loves vegetable biryani in pressure cooker.

Vegetable Biryani is made in many ways. Authentic Way of making Vegetable Biryani takes a long time and many spices. This Biryani In Pressure Cooker is easy to make yet tastes yum. I would name this as Bachelors biryani as it comes very handy and you don’t have to cook rice and gravy separately.
