Ingredients
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, cauliflower, beans)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 2 green chilies, slit
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- For the carrot salad:
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
-
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
-
Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Then, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Cook for a minute until fragrant.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and mushy. Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another minute.
-
Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for a couple of minutes. Then, add the soaked and drained basmati rice. Stir well to coat the rice with the spices.
-
Pour in 4 cups of water and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the biriyani cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and cooked through.
-
While the biriyani is cooking, prepare the carrot salad. In a bowl, combine the grated carrots and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
-
Once the biriyani is cooked, remove it from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
-
Serve the vegetable vegan biriyani hot, along with the refreshing carrot salad.
