Vegetable Biriyani

Personally,I am not a big fan of veg biriyani but I consider dis recipe as a quick fix dish when there are guests and eventhough it appears to be a complicated dish,it is not so actually.This dish is very easy to make and goes well with any kind of raitha.

25 mm pc of Ginger

3 sticks of cinnamom
