Thalappakatti style vegetable biryani/ Thalappakatti veg biryani is a flavorful and delicious one pot meal prepared with veggies, seeraga samba rice and freshly ground masala.

Thalappakatti is known for their unique style seeraga samba chicken and mutton biryani loaded with spices. In this recipe I have replaced chicken with veggies I made this biryani during the initial stages of lockdown as we couldn’t get meat.

This biryani recipe was a handy, tummy filling and most importantly delicious. I earlier posted another veg version of the same biryani like this Thalappakatti style chicken biryani and Thalappakatti style soya chunks biryani. Also mentioned in the same post that will soon post a version with veggies and it is here.

You can try making the same recipe with mushroom as well and it will taste yum. This recipe requires a little grinding work and lot of patience to get the base masala. But trust me the wait will be worth. This recipe has an important ingredient called dagad phool/ kalpasi/ stone flower which is a game changer in the biryani so do not attempt this recipe without it as the whole flavor will be lost. Also use only seeraga samba rice for this biryani as this biryani stands unique with that.

I am not claiming that this biryani is authentic/ original one but surely can say a little close to its taste, well we don’t their recipe for sure. So passing on some flavors from kitchen to yours and ket me know your feedback. So let’s get to the making of Thalappakatti style vegetable biryani!
