As a foodie i also has my kind of biriyani style......playinf myself with recipe is my favourite one and ofcourse my loved ones are my test rats ....(As i did Nutrition Food Service Management and Dietetics always i consider my kitchen as laboratory and my loved ones as test rats..... LOL) This time my niece and nephew were asking me to to do fried rice and it ended to biriyani as i didnt have soy sauce in kitchen. 
Biriyani making is easy but its the order that we put the ingredients and the quantity of the ingredients we cook.....

asofoetida-1/2 tsp
mustard seeds-1/2 tsp
oil as needed
green chillies as per your spice . I took 5 nos as it was less spicy. 
chilli powder-1 tsp
Method:
Pre preparation:
1. cut onions very thinly.
2. cut chillies lengthwise.
3. prepare ginger garlic paste 1:1 ratio
4.clean and cut vegetables and clean mint and coriander curry  leaves and chip roughly.
5.chop tomatoes

Preparation:
Heat pan and let the mustard pop in the oil. Add cut onions and fry little then add the spice items except garam masala.
Add half of coriander and mint leaves, green chilli and saute .Then add cut tomatoes and ginger garlic paste, turmeric and saute till tomatoes are juicy and well cooked. Add vegatables, salt, little chilli powder, asofoetida and garam masala , curd and lemon juice. Let the vegetables are half done.

I have used India gate basmati rice and a electric cooker. So i cleaned the rice and took 4 cups of water and the 2 cups of rice in an electric cooker and then added all the gravy vegetables and cooked. when it is half cooked i have added little ghee, remaining mint and coriander leaves on it and continued cooking. When rice is cooked slightly mix with forks and serve hot with fried onions or caramalized onions on top with raita of your choice.
Your yummy biriyani is ready.

If you want richness you can add saffron when the rice is half done. Also fried nuts for richness.

Nutritional Info:

Happy Eating....!!!!!!
