SOYABEAN BIRYANI

A nutri-packed biryani! Soyabeans are one of the healthiest pulses for a vegetarian diet as apart form other nutrients, they also abound in vitamin B12 which is otherwise lacking in other vegetarian foods.
I have added three parts of vegetables to make the glycemic index of this dish lower.
You will surely relish the spicy flavours of the masala mixture in this recipe.
The is a good dish for a packed lunch to take to work that will satiate you and keep you going for a longer period.
