Vegetable biryani from Madhur Jaffrey's Ultimate Curry Bible by Madhur Jaffrey

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Doc2mom on January 07, 2026

    This is a pretty good biryani recipe that is nontraditional (USA is labeled as the cultural source of this recipe in Jaffrey’s book) and it is pretty mild from a flavor profile perspective, noted by use of red peppers, mushrooms, and green beans as its key vegetables. It was decent on day one and really got better on the second/third day of eating once the flavors had melded. This recipe produces a huge amount of biryani so likely serves 8-10 people at the least. I might recommend adding something to spice this up or make the flavor a little more robust (for instance, fried onions here is a notable omission and the recipe could probably use them somewhere - either in the base or as a garnish)
