First wash and soak rice for minimum 10 mins. Grind ginger, garlic and fennel seeds into a paste. Add very little water if needed to grind.
Take a pressure cooker, add oil, ghee. When hot, add star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, brinji leaves and fennel seeds if adding. Add thinly sliced onion, slit green chillies.
Fry till onion turns transparent. Add ginger garlic fennel paste and give it a fry for 30 seconds. Oil should separate.
Add finely chopped tomatoes, chopped mint coriander leaves, red chilli, garam masala, biryani, turmeric powders, along with little salt. Fry for a minute or until the oil floats on top.
Add chopped veggies. Refer notes for tips. Cook for 2 minutes covered in medium flame.
Drain water from rice and add it to the vegetables.
Add 3 & 1/2 cup water, required salt and bring to boil. I add cauliflower at this stage.
Pressure cook for 2 whistles in medium flame. The cooking time should not exceed 12 mins. Once done, open the cooker, carefully turn the biryani once or twice. After 5 minutes, it will be easy to fluff properly.

If you want, instead of water, you can use thin coconut milk. Reduce a tbsp of ghee/ oil in that case.
You can replace seeraga samba rice with basmati rice or chinnigura rice too. In case of basmati, use just 1 & 1/2 cups water for 1 cup rice.
Depending on the rice quality (aged or fresh batch) the water quantity may slightly vary. So take care not to burn or mash the rice.
I used pot shaped cooker (3.3 liter prestige) and I got only one whistle. So I switched off the stove at 12 mins after closing the lid. If you get 2 whistles before the mentioned time, you can just switch off the stove.
As soon as you open the cooker and give it a turn with ladle, it tends to get mushy if over stirred. So just turn once or twice delicately. But when you give 5 mins standing time, it will be easy for fluffing. Grains get separated as it gets cooled.
Do not reduce or increase oil/ ghee measurement for best results.
I have skipped tempering with fennel as Vj does not like fennel. Just ground along ginger garlic and used.
Take the cooker off the stove once it is done. Transfer to broader vessel if needed.
