Arguably one of the most popular rice-based dishes from Indian cuisine, biryani is traditionally cooked with meat. However, vegetable biryani adapts the traditional recipe by retaining the cooking method (layering in flavours, and slow-cooking, if possible) but adding vegetables, or vegetables and paneer/tofu instead of the meat. Vegetable biryani differs from the typical pulao due to the spices used and the style of cooking.
