Vegan Vegetable Rice Biryani Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This homemade indian rice biryani recipe is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Featuring green peas, slivered almonds, and raisins, this dish is spiced with fragrant cumin seeds, ginger, and peppercorns. For the most authentic recipe, choose basmati rice. In india, rice biryani (sometimes spelled biriyani or biriani) is often prepared with meat, but vegetarian versions aren't atypical. If you prefer more vegetables in your indian rice biryani, pile it high with steamed cauliflower, trimmed green beans, tomatoes, or even chickpeas for a bit of protein. Steamed potatoes are another common ingredient in vegetable biryani recipes. Instead of almonds, you could try adding cashews. For a more interesting flavor, substitute the raisins for currants. As with many indian food recipes, this one is completely salt-free. With the amount of delicious indian spices, you're not likely to miss the salt, but if you're used to heavily salted foods, you might want to add just a pinch for flavor.
