    How to Prepare Biye Barir Pulao (Bengali Vegetable Pulao) [Vegan]

    1. Mix the salt, garam masala, and black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
    2. Heat the oil in a medium kadhai over medium heat. Sauté the cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, cardamom, and cashews for 1 minute. Add the green chiles and fry for 30 seconds. Add the carrots, green peas, green beans, and raisins. Sauté over high heat until they are cooked.
    3. Turn off the heat and spoon half the cooked rice over the veggies. Sprinkle with half of the prepared spice mix and then add the remaining rice. Sprinkle with the remaining spice mix.
    4. Using two spoons, lightly toss the rice so that everything gets mixed without mashing the rice.
    5. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for another 6 minutes. Keep stirring to ensure that the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the kadhai.
