Green Moong Dal Biryani With Vegetables
The Green Moong Dal Biryani With Vegetables, is a combination that is wholesome and yet packed with spices, flavours, and taste. I came up with this Biryani Recipe when I was packing the kids lunch boxes and then I realised wanted to include more protein in their diet. Instead of rice with vegetables, I decided to add the green moong to it and spicing it up. Combining Whole Green Moong along with rice, spices and nuts was one of the best dishes I have savoured in my lifetime.

Directions for Green Moong Dal Biryani With Vegetables
To begin making Green Moong Dal Biryani With Vegetables, soak the green moong beans for 5 to 6 hours or overnight. Wash and soak the rice in 2 cups of water for about an hour. Drain the water and keep aside.
Place the vegetables in a steamer, sprinkle salt and steam until cooked through.
Make a paste of the onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies in a small blender jar. Keep aside.
Heat ghee in a large saucepan on medium heat; add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Stir in the ginger, garlic onion paste and saute on medium heat until the paste changes color and begin to get a sweet smell.
Stir in the tomato puree, spice powders and turmeric powder. Sauté the above mixture until the tomatoes have cooked through. Stir in the rice, soaked green moong and salt along with 2-1/2 cups of water.
Allow the Moong Biryani Mixture to come to a boil and then turn the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer to cook the Moong Biryani for about 30 minutes or more minutes until the rice and green gram has been fully cooked and all the water has been absorbed.
Turn off the heat and let the Moong Biryani rest for 10 minutes before you can open to stir. Gently stir in the steamed vegetables, chopped coriander leaves and serve warm.
