Mangalore Veg Biryani Recipe – Karnataka Spicy Veg Palav

Today, we will visit the state of Karnataka. As with every state, Karnataka also has it regional cuisines and so it is such a huge list of recipes to research. When I read about this Mangalore Veg biryani, I was hooked. When we make biryani, we don’t add coconut in the spice paste but use coconut milk to cook the biryani. But in this version of biryani, coconut is added in the spice paste itself which gives you a very different flavour. As with every biryani recipe, the list of ingredients is long, but they are just everyday spices available easily in any kitchen.

This is a simple version which is cooked in one pot style. Again you can either pressure cook, or use an open pan or use a rice cooker for making this delicious biryani. The only point you need to remember is to adjust the water according to your cooking method. The vegetables added is your choice. Add whichever you like. I have used carrots, green peas, potato and cauliflower. With all the vegetables and the spice paste, the biryani turns out really full of flavour and colour. Serve it with a simple raitha for the side for a satisfying meal.
