Mixed Beans Biryani ~ Simple One pot Meal

Mixed Bean Biryani is a one pot meal with spicy Indian Masala and protein rice beans included. Its a complete meal on itself and you just need a Raitha on the side to enjoy this meal.

While I had other plans for the third day of Combo dishes, I ended up sharing this recipe as the planned dish didn’t materialize. Finally, you get to read this most commonly prepared Combo meal a spicy biryani with Raitha. The ease with which you can make this dish, you can complete your meal with this itself, with just an onion raitha on the side.

Many times when we are making nonveg for the family, we resort to such one-pot meals for the vegetarians. So this was our meal couple of weeks back. As you might have guessed, this was saved for the One pot Meal, which I am reluctantly sharing for this theme. I was not really happy with this choice as the dish I had in mind for the third day was very interesting. Hopefully, that will get done sometime!

After Aloo Masala for Poori and Vada Curry for Appam, this Easy Mixed Beans Biryani is the final dish for the Combo Dishes.
