Tricolour Biryani isn’t just a dish; it’s a celebration on a plate. Inspired by the vibrant hues of the Indian flag, this biryani brings together three flavourful layers. This dish is a combination of colours that is made using natural ingredients. The top layer is made orange with the addition of carrots and whole spices, while the white layer is flavoured with caramelised onions and potatoes are added, to give the biryani that bite. The bottom layer is green and created with spinach and mint leaves, which are a nutritious combination of rice and greens that give this biryani a wonderful depth of flavour and colour.
