Wash the vegetables, drain them completely and then cut into thin long slices. Take a frying pan and keep pour some oil. Bring to heat and put in one vegetable at a time. Saute each vegetable on full flame till it gets cooked. You can sprinkle a little water. Saute continuously to avoid the vegetables from getting burned. Ensure that the vegetables retain their colour. If you pour too much water the colour will become lighter and so saute and try to avoid water as much as you can. Then saute the green peas. Now take another frying pan and pour 1 tablespoon oil. Now when the oil is hot add the mustard seeds, green chilly, cumin seeds and cinnamon. Let them all crackle first and then saute briefly till they become golden brown in colour. Then add the cloves and black pepper powder and let it crackle too. Follow this by adding the onions and saute them till they are soft and cooked. Add the red chilly powder, salt to taste and saute well. Put the finely chopped tomatoes and cook it till the oil begins to leave the edges of the pan. Whip the curd in a blender just for 5 seconds so that is nice and fine. Pour this curd into the pan and stir well. Cook briefly and add all the sauteed vegetables. Put in the cooked rice and mix it very gently. Ensure you don't break the grains or mash them up. Cook for five minutes on a low flame. Turn of the flame. Garnish the biryani with dry fruits and coriander leaves. Serve it hot with some onion and curd raita. http://www.bestindiancuisines.com/vegetable-biryani-recipe.shtml http://www.bestindiancuisines.com/vegetable-biryani-recipe.shtml
