Spicy Vegetable Biryani

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes, then drain.
2. In a pan, melt the ghee and add chopped onions and green chilies. Fry until the onions become translucent.
3. Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped tomato. Stir well until the tomatoes soften.
4. Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for a few minutes.
5. Add the Biryani masala into the pan and mix well.
6. Stir in the yogurt and allow it to cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are well coated with the masala and yogurt.
7. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the drained rice. Cook the rice until it's 70% done. Then drain it.
8. Layer the partially cooked rice over the vegetables in the pan and spread the chopped cilantro on top.
9. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors have combined.
10. Serve your spicy vegetable biryani hot with a side of yogurt or raita.
