Soya Chunks Biryani (Pressure Cooker Version)

Soya biryani is a protein rich biryani recipe with the soya chunks cooked and then added to rice along with whole spices and garam masala powder.. This was my first attempt to cook the soya chunks biryani and it turned out as usual very tasty. I was not even prepared to cook this biryani but just because of my S-I-L i cooked this biryani. Even i was also thinking that our breakfast and lunch is being repeated again and again,so when i opened my draw i saw a pack of Nutarila soya chunks so i thought why not to give a try in soya chunk only. First i thought to prepare paluo and finally finished with biryani... And it was very tasty and very healthy too..
