1 cup basmati rice
2 cups coconut milk or water
4-5 florets cauliflower, roughly chopped
1/4 cup peas
1 tomato
1 1/2 tbsp curd
1 onion
1 tsp ginger garlic paste

Method

Heat oil and add saunf, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves.

When they splutter add sliced onions and wait till it turns golden brown.

Then add ginger garlic paste and green chillies.

Add vegetables like cauliflower, peas and tomatoes which are not in the veg balls.

This makes it a healthy meal since we get to have all vegetables in one dish.

Then add a little curd.

Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, chilli powder and little garam masala powder.

Add salt and then pour water or coconut milk in ratio to the cups of rice you want.

When the water or coconut milk starts boiling add rice and salt.

Once the rice is done, add the veg balls to the biriyani and toss it evenly.

Serve with raita.

P.S. For 1 cup rice 6-8 veg balls should be more than enough.
