Biryani

If there’s one takeout-inspired recipe you have to try, it’s this Easy Vegan Biryani. It’s an ultra-flavorful rice dish made in one pot with vegetables and Indian spices. This simplified version substitutes the effort, but not the flavor!

olive oil

ginger

garlic,

yukon gold potato,

cauliflower florets

green peas

green beans

chickpeas,

raisins,

coriander

cumin

cayenne pepper

vegetable broth

basmati rice,

First, prepare all your ingredients. Chop all the vegetables, drain the beans and add all spices to a small bowl. This will make cooking a breeze.

Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook until translucent, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes.

Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the water and stir so the garlic and ginger don&#39;t burn. Add the vegetables, chickpeas and raisins, if using, and stir well.

Now add the spices, salt and pepper and stir well, coating the vegetables.

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed rice. Stir well, bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is cooked.

Fluff the rice with a fork, then re cover the pan and let sit for 5 minutes.

Serve with chopped cilantro and sliced almonds, if desired. Enjoy! Serve with vegan raita and naan bread.

Amazing recipe. Next time I will add more cauliflower, because it really is the star of this dish!

Nora, GET OUT!!! Another bomb recipe! Never made a bad Nora Cooks recipe! Easy, health, and (most importantly) DELICIOUS!!!

Easy to make and tastes amazing! Will definitely make again.

Another delicious recipe full of flavor that my whole house loves! Thanks Nora!

This was so moreish, I had to put the pan away after our third helping to save us from ourselves. I  forgot the potato (LOVE rice with potatoes), so "unfortunately" I will have to make the dish again this weekend.
