About Our Vegetable Biryani
Vegetarian biryani is too often an afterthought. We treat it as its own dish: the vegetables are cooked separately in a yogurt masala so they keep their texture, and only then are they layered under rice that has been boiled part way and finished in the sealed pot.
Saffron milk, crisp fried onions and fresh herbs go between the layers, and whole spices – cardamom, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon – perfume the rice as it steams. Served with raita, it is a complete vegetarian meal and a reliable choice when part of your table eats meat and part does not.
What Makes Our Vegetable Biryani Special
- Layered and slow-cooked dum style, not stir-fried
- Seasonal vegetables cooked in a yogurt and whole-spice masala
- Aged long-grain basmati with saffron, fried onions and fresh herbs
- Fully vegetarian and prepared without artificial colour
- Served with cooling raita
How to Enjoy Vegetable Biryani at Nitara
Mix gently from the bottom up so the darker, spiced grains come through, and add raita as you go. If your table also eats meat, order it next to our Hyderabadi chicken biryani.
Perfect Pairings
Add medu vada as a starter, or a masala dosa for the table when you want variety across the meal.
