Vegetable Biryani | Seeraga Samba Veg Biryani Recipe is a tasty and delicious recipe. Veggie biryani is almost everyone’s favourite dish, and when made at home with all the vegetables and spices, it also doubles as a healthful dish. In order to create a flavorful feast, I used the traditional rice fragrant Seeraga Samba from Tamil Nadu. You can also use any raw rice too to prepare this recipe. And adding ghee roasted shallots / Onion finally gives a nice flavour and taste to the biryani, which is optional.
