I always fail in pressure cooking biryani and end up with something like kali. Yours has come out perfect Priya. And the addition of black eyed peas makes it a nice filling meal.
I love this kind of one pot meals that don’t really need a side dish. I love black eyed peas and your rice dish looks amazing.
enjoyed your dishes so far and looking forward to the others. Adding black eyed beans and tomato to this biryani makes its a delicious lunch. A colorful rice is most appealing when one opens their lunch box.

So flavorful and love the beans in the biriyani. I always add some kind of bean in my rice recipe to include some protein and black eyed peas are my favorite.
Interesting twist to tomato biryani. Nice way to sneak in protein into the biryani by adding black eyed peas.
