Brown rice veg biryani is my recent try using Sona masoori brown rice. I usually make brown rice idli,dosa. But I have not used brown rice for our lunch.Yesterday I bought a pack of India Gate brown rice( Not brown basmati) for the first time and tried this biryani in a pressure cooker. I did not have any idea of how to cook brown rice.So I tried to cook the rice like our usual white rice biryani & it became a super flop after cooking for 20 minutes in pressure cooker.The outer bran of brown rice was not cooked at all.Then I browsed through some websites and came to know brown rice has to be soaked for a minimum of one hour.I added more water,kept for another 20 minutes and finally my rice was cooked soft and great. Biryani was very nice and flavorful. But it really tested my patience and I was not able spend time to click good pictures as our tummies were rumbling out of hunger.Cooking brown rice is very easy only if you soak it for more than an hour.You can also opt for frying the rice adding ghee to make it more flavorful.I will try to make a separate post on cooking brown rice using various methods.Here I have used mixed vegetables like carrot,beans and potato.U can also try with marinated chicken for non-veg options.So friends I have altered the recipe based on my experience.I hope u can make it perfect by following this recipe.I am happy to share this healthy brown rice biryani as my 30th post in Sunday lunch recipes series.Ok,lets see how to make this Indian style brown rice biryani.
