What is the different between Biryani & Brinji Rice ?
Well, there are many differences.. Though the flavor and we are using the similar masala items, the key difference is that we are cooking the Brinji Rice along with coconut milk. Also the method of cooking biryani is different compared to Brinji Rice.
Variations in cooking Brinji Rice
I have given a simple method of cooking Brinji rice here. However you can add some variations as well
- You can use the choice of your vegetables. We can make this even without any vegetables as well. The plain brinji rice itself is very aromatic and tasty
- You can cook this directly in the pan or using pressure cooker/ rice cooker / Instant Pot. In this method i have used Rice cooker to make it.
- You can also add ground coconut to the rice to enhance the taste further.
- I prefer to use Basmati rice to make this rice. However you can also use any rice of your choice (Sona Masoori, etc.,)
Generally for any parties or potluck, veggie rich Binji rice would be a perfect choice. I always chose to make this Brinji Rice, its kind of my signature rice variety along with Bisibelabath. I always gets good comments from my friends. This Brinji rice can be served with Aloo Methi or with a simple plain Onion or Cucumber Raitha.
