Bagara Khana also known Bagara Rice or Bagarannam is a popular dish in Hyderabad. It is similar to a vegetable biryani but void of vegetables. It is also a bit plain on spices compared to usual Biryani. This is intentional as it is eaten with a spicy dish, usually Bagara Baingan, Mirchi Ka Salan, Kaddu Ka Dalcha etc.

Basmati Rice – ½ Kg
Peas – ½ cup
Mint Leaves – 2 bunches
