Bringing it all together:- Add the marinated vegetables to a Biryani pot or any other cooking pot that you might prefer. Cover the pot and let the vegetables cook on a medium flame (stir occasionally to avoid the vegetables sticking to bottom) for mins. The vegetables should be halfway cooked by now. Add the cooked rice over the vegetables mixture garnish it with chopped coriander and mint leaves. You can also add the saffron soaked in milk at this stage for added flavor. Close the lid of the pot and let the biryani cook on a slow flame for another mins Your yummy biryani is ready to be savored with sides of your choosing.
