This winter-warming biryani is packed with tasty veggies, including cauliflower, mushrooms and carrots, which blend really well with the fragrant spices.
You can easily sub the veggies for whatever veggies you’ve got in your fridge. For instance broccoli and parsnip will work well too.
We use a vegan madras curry paste in this recipe. And make sure it’s gluten-free if you want this recipe to be gluten-free.
Opt for a soy-free yoghurt to make this recipe soy-free.
Heat a little coconut oil in a saucepan on a medium heat. Once hot add the bay leaf and cloves, and fry for a minute.
Then add the onion to the saucepan and fry for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, chillies and curry paste to the saucepan and fry for 2 minutes.
Then add the carrot, mushroom and cauliflower to the saucepan and cook for 10 minutes.
Next, add the tomato, raisins, rice, stock and a pinch of salt, and simmer with the lid on for 25 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure the biryani doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Take the saucepan off the heat but leave the lid on for 5 minutes so the rice becomes light and fluffy then stir in the mint and coriander.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a spoonful of yoghurt.
