How to Prepare Vegetable Biryani [Vegan]
- Heat 2 cups of water and add to it some salt.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the rice. Bring the rice back to a boil, lower the heat, and cook about 4-5 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Be careful not to let the rice stick to the bottom of the saucepan. You want the rice to be mostly -- not all the way-- cooked. Set aside.
- Heat the oil.
- Add to it the cardamom, cinnamon and cloves and saute for a few seconds. Add the cumin seeds and the ginger-garlic paste and then the veggies-- potatoes, carrots and cauliflower florets.
- Saute the veggies for about five minutes, stirring frequently, so they take on a golden-brown sheen.
- Add 1/2 the recipe of biryani masala (recipe above), the coriander and mint leaves, green chillies, and the tofu yogurt.
- Mix well and cover the saucepan. Allow the veggies to cook until they are almost tender. Add salt to taste and take off the fire.
- Spray a thin coat of oil in the base of a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Now take half the cooked veggie mixture and spread it in the bottom of the pan.
- Pour out half the cooked rice and spread it on top of the veggies.
- Sprinkle the cashewnuts and raisins evenly over the rice.
- Add another layer of the remaining veggie mixture, and then the remaining rice.
- Sprinkle the saffron water on top, cover the pot with a lid, and place in a preheated, 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.
- After taking the biryani out of the oven, let it stand, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes.
- Serve piping hot!
