India happens to possess some of the most delicious dishes that you’re going to ever taste. You may be disagreeing with this statement based on a lot of the stories you might have heard in the past. I will agree that there are many of odd dishes they create, but they think the same thing about lots of the dishes that we make. One thing that you need to know is that they create some of the most fantastic tasting vegetable dishes that you’ll ever have. My personal favorite is a dish called Vegetable Biryani. The Biryani dish originated in North India and was mostly reserved for use during festivals. The vegetables of this dish are marinated in a yogurt-based marinade.
Step One: Firstly, you are required to cook Capsicum cubes, French Beans (cut into small pieces), Carrot cubes, Potato cubes, Peas and Cauliflower cubes. In a pan boil these vegetables with salt for about 9 mins.Once the vegetables are cooked, drain the water and keep it separately in a large bowl. Cook the Mushrooms and add in with the vegetables. Add celery into the vegetables.
Step Two: Make a mix of ginger, garlic, curry powder, turmeric and unsweetened yogurt.You should take care that all the ingredients are mixed together properly. With a spoon add this mixture into the vegetable. Let the vegetable marinate for atleast 2 1/2 hours. This dish needs few minutes for marination, so it cannot be made instantly.
Step Three: For cooking the rice, first take a thick bottom pan and put butter into it. As the butter melts, add in the onion (sliced) and let it cook in medium heat for about 5 mins.Once they’ve turned into golden brown color, remove the pan from flame. For garnishing separate some of the cooked brown onions and reserve it. In a large pan cook the rice with water for about 9 mins.After the rice is cooked drain the water and keep aside.
Step Four: Now take the marinated vegetable and add it to the cooked brown onions. Cook the vegetables for about 10 mins.Take a large casserole dish and put in atleast half of the cooked rice into it. Over the rice, place a spoonful of cooked vegetables. Again on top of it put the residual rice and cover the dish. In a preheated oven cook the biryani at 375 degree for about 25 mins .Once cooked remove from the oven.
Take a serving plate, and put the biryani into it. Garnish with the golden brown onions and cilantro. Your Tasty Indian Vegetable biryani is ready to be eaten. What are you waiting for? Go for it!!!

As seen on Man vs. Food, I try the signature dish from Gladys Knight & Ron Winan’s restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, the Midnight Train! 4 jumbo chicken wings and a golden waffle!
Biryani is a dish that is made using Meat and Rice, layered and cooked together with some spices… It is derived from the Persian word ‘Birian’ which means roasting before cooking.
This special tasty dish has its origins in Persia. The story goes that the nomads and the tribals carried some dried meat and rice with them during their travels, and they layered the rice and the meat and added some dry herbs and nuts and allow it to seethe on a wood fire for for a while and then buried it in the sand for a couple of hours, after which the dish was deemed ready. It was a fairly simple way of preparing Biryani those days, making use of nature and her resources.
Biryani has taken many different forms since then, and gone on to become a gourmet dish, that has been evolved and fine-tuned to such an extent, that now one comes across at least 50 varieties of Biryanis. I may be wrong there, as the number may be greater.
Biryani has meat and rice as its fundamental ingredients. The rest of the ingredients, vary based on the variety and style of the Biryani being prepared.
There are many varieties of Biryani within India with each city having its own style, but perhaps Biryani from Hyderabad is the most famous of the lot. Believe it or not, some of the biryani recipes are secretly protected by restaurants and families across generations. Biryani was infact introduced to India by the Mughals which was then improvised by the local Indians to suit their spice craving.
A great Biryani consists of well cooked meat and the right mix of spices and herbs, cooked along with rice. The meat and rice is not combined whilst cooking. They are both cooked independently. The last stage of the preparation consists of layering the 2 alternatively and usually cooked either in an oven or on conventional wood fire, using gentle heat.
