Hyderabadi veg Biryani is one healthy biryani loaded with veggie's and of course spices. In this, vegetables are cooked in a rich creamy gravy obtained by grinding coconut, kasa kasa and yogurt and cooked with spices. Few days back I'd watched a cookery show where the chef told it is mandatory to blanch the veggies for making veg pulao's and biryani's.

Biryani masala powder -- 2 tsp , I used Shaan masala
Red chilli powder -- 1/2 tsp

Ginger garlic paste -- 1 1/2 tsp

Wet masala:
Coconut -- 2 tbsp
Khus khus -- 1 1/2 tsp

Raisins -- 1/2 tbsp
 Onion -- 2 nos.
Saffron -- a pinch, dissolved in luke warm milk or water
Salt -- to taste
Sugar -- a pinch
Coriander leaves, mint leaves -- chopped, 1/2 cup

Method:
Soak the khus khus in a tbsp of water for 10 minutes.
Soak the basmati rice for 10 minutes.
Julienne the onions(i.e to very thin slices)
It is mandatory to blanch the vegetables for veg biryani. So, boil 2 of water and add the green peas, carrrot, beans and boil for 1 minute. And then add the potatoes and the cauliflower and again boil for 1 minutes. Drain the water completely and place the colander(loaded with veggie's) under the tap water and let the vegetables be in the cool water for a minute and drain completely. Keep aside.
Prepare the wet masala by grinding the coconut  with the soaked khus khus+ cashews + curd/yogurt and grind to a paste.
Heat a heavy bottomed non stick pan with oil and 2 tbsp ghee, fry the julienne d onions with a pinch of salt on the medium low flame  until it turns golden brown, like in the pic. Drain the fried onions using a kitchen tissue and carry on frying the cashews and the raisins with the same oil and drain that as well.
Now with the same oil, do the seasoning. Fry the spices one by one(cinnamon,cloves,cardamom,mace,bay leaves) and add the ginger garlic paste and fry them as well for 1 minute over medium flame.
To this add the blanched vegetables, cubed tomatoes and mix them thoroughly with the spices.
Add the biryani masala powder, red chilli powder, turme
ric powder, salt to the vegetables and toss them so that it gets mixed well. Cover and cook for a minute so that the raw smell of the spices goes away. Turn down the flame to medium low.

Add the ground masala to the vegetables and combine them thoroughly. add the mint leaves and mix well. Again cover and cook the vegetables for 3 more minutes / until the gravy has slightly thickened. Finally add a pinch of sugar to the masala and combine well.
Meanwhile prepare the rice by boiling 6 cups of water with salt, oil or lemon juice and slowly add the soaked basmati rice. Cook until the rice is 3/4th cooked. Drain the water and spread the rice on a wide plate / wide bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F / 180 deg C. Take a clean casserole or any oven baked dish and grease the bottom with oil. Add a layer of rice to the bottom of the pan ,add some saffron milk and top it with a layer of vegetable masala. Again follow the same routine until u r done with the masala. Finally add the rest of the saffron milk, fried onions, coriander leaves, cashews, raisins on top of the rice and drizzle with the given 1 tbsp of ghee. Now bake the briyani for 15 to 20 minutes (depends on ur oven) / until the rice gets cooked. Switch off the oven.
Let the biryani sit inside the oven for another 15 minutes. Use the fork to fluff up the rice from the bottom to the top and carefully mix them without breaking the grainy rice.
