Indian takeaway style biryani veg curry recipe

Does anyone have a recipe please? Love the one that comes with a biryani where assorted veg are chucked in.  No spice or very little as far as I can detect.  Love it. Would love an easy biryani recipe too if anyone has one they can recommend.

    I like Dishoom’s biryanis. Replace the chicken with sweet potato.  https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/recipe/dishooms-classic-chicken-biryani

    They have their own vegetarian version too as above. Their black dhal, also in the above link, is great too

    Here's a really nice vegetable biriani recipe. It freezes well and you can use any veg.

    250 g basmati rice
    1 teaspoon of ground ginger
    2 cloves of garlic, mashed to a paste with a little salt or use granules
    2 green chillies, finely chopped (or use more chilli powder)
    1 tsp garam masala
    half tsp ground cumin
    half tsp turmeric
    half tsp chilli powder
    100g yoghurt
    1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
    400g veg such as cauliflower, sweet potato, peas, onion, carrots.green beans.
    prepared into chunks.

    25g butter, melted
    2 tbsp milk, warmed
    half teaspoon of turmeric.

    vegetable oil, to fry

    Soak the rice for an hour and then boil it for 8 minutes.Then drain.
    Mix the spices into the yogurt and lemon juice. Then mix in the vegetables.
    Put a little oil into a frying pan and gently cook all the yogurt and spice coated veg for about 8 minutes, if they get too dry add a little water.
    Put the veg into the bottom of a casserole dish.
    Top with the rice.
    Mix the melted butter, milk and turmeric and flick this around the top of the rice.
    Put on a tight lid (you could use foil) and bake for about half an hour
    When it cooked you can add sultanas, crispy onions, almond/cashews

    That sounds truly amazing
