This is such a lunch item what is perfect for any festival like Holi, Dashera, Diwali etc. In case you are planning to have a delicious vegetarian meal on the occasion of coming Holi then you should try this awesome biryani at home.

Though I do not play Holi every year because I was living in various cities away from my family for many years. So playing Holi every year did not go with my situation.

So I prefer to choose watching people playing Holi outside and have Holi special food inside, haha. This everyday veg biryani is perfect for Holi lunch because if you have already filled your stomach with too much pakoda & thandai. So you need to have a delicious & simple meal for your Holi special lunch.

Though I am talking about Holi special meal. But having homemade biryani with family members is itself as a festival. It is like a celebration of happiness, you do not need a festival.

It is mouthwatering and when it is served with a bowl of raita then it is like ultimate happiness for every foodie, haha. What do you say? Am I correct?
