Made this for a potluck dinner recently. Everyone loved it,especially my hubby who was shocked that i fried the potatoes in ghee. Will make it again, maybe by baking the potaoes instead

    this is a wonderful and very repeatable dish. my husband loves this as a substitute for whenever i dont have the time or energy to cook a fullscale biryani for him (for that i only use fresh veggies so takes much longer). i made this with some minor modifications: i omitted the coconut milk powder (since i didnt have any), and used an assortment of mixed veg instead of peas alone. i also left out the tomatoes in step #2 and just threw them on top of the rice at the end, after which i baked it in the oven for a ~15mins...just because i wanted to. also, i didn't need to drain the rice, as i fried it along with the onions and veggies, added just enough water, so it dehydrated itself. end result was gobbled up and am amazed it existed long enough for me to even take a photo of it.

    I can't believe it has taken me so long to get around to reviewing this! I have made this dish so many times since coming across it on recipezaar. It is really wonderful! Each time I have made it I follow the directions exactly. It comes out perfect everytime! My husband loves it. Most of the time we eat it as a main dish. Thanks for posting!
