Why channa briyani

Protein-rich chana is a healthy option to make flavorful biryani. Chickpea is a great source of protein for vegetarians. Veg biryani with Chana is perfect for people who are dieting.

What is special about Dindigul Thalappakatti biryani 

Unique biryani masala makes it so flavorful. Instead of using store-bought masala, I would recommend grinding fresh masala powder. I have used a batch of biryani masala I prepared for soya biryani

Chickpea

Always soak chickpeas overnight. Pressure cooking with biryani masala and salt makes it flavorful but it needs to cook for additional whistles till it turns soft

Can I skip small onions?

No, it gives a nice flavor so I would recommend 

Can I skip the curd?

Traditionally curd, tomato, and lemon juice are used. It gives amazing flavor to the rice

Delicious chana biryani served in a traditional pressure cooker, perfect for a flavorful vegetarian.

Always saute curd on low flame

To avoid curdling always saute in low flame. After adding water boil on a medium flame.

Rice for channa briyani

I have used seeraga samba rice. You can use any variety of rice according to your choice. Adjust water accordingly.

Should I soak rice?

Yes, soaking helps with fast cooking. I would recommend 

that I skip ghee

yes, you can use just oil. Ghee gives amazing flavor to the biryani so I prefer using it.

Side dish for biryani

Biryani goes well with raita varieties,gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan, and raita
