Beetroot Peas Biryani In Pressure Cooker

Beetroot and peas biryani is a delectable and nutritious south Indian biryani variety. This biryani is very similar to our regular biryani procedure, but here we add only beetroot and peas instead of other veggies. I have cooked this biryani in coconut milk you can use curd instead.
