To accompany the masala, we learned how to make vegetable palau.  I finally got something cleared up that had confused me for a while — both palau and biryani are vegetables with rice, but the palau is more vegetable-dominated, while the biryani skews towards the rice side.  This was a fairly simple preparation with cauliflower, cabbage, capsicum (i.e. green pepper), and tomato sauteed with cooked basmati rice.  It was soon covered and put aside before we moved on to the main event: bread making.
