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 that I 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.

Green Moong Dal Biryani With Vegetables makes a great wholesome one dish meal along with Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita for a weekday lunch.

Heat ghee in the pressure cooker on medium heat; add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Add in cinnamon and cardamom pods, allow them to release their aroma.

Stir in the ginger, garlic, green chillies and onion and saute on medium heat until the onion turns translucent and soft and begin to get a sweet smell.

Stir in the tomato puree or chopped tomatoes and turmeric powder. Sauté the above mixture until the tomatoes have cooked through. Stir in the rice, soaked green moong, vegetables and salt along with 2-1/2 cups of water.
