Ingredients
Rice and Vegetables
- 2 cup Basmati Rice long grain
- 1/2 cup Onion chopped
- 1/2 cup Cauliflower cut into florets
- 1/2 cup Carrots chopped
- 1/2 cup Potatoes chopped
- 1/2 cup Peas fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup Chilies green, slit lengthwise
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 cup Coriander freshly chopped
- 1 tsp Cloves
- 1-2 Cardamoms green
- 1-2 Cardamoms black
- 1-2 Bay Leaves
- 1-2 Peppercorns black
- 1-2 Chakli (dried mango powder)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Chili Powder red, to taste
- Turmeric Powder to taste
- Salt to taste
Garnish
- Cashews as needed, roasted
Instructions
- Dry roast the cloves, green cardamoms, black cardamoms, black peppercorns, and cumin seeds until fragrant. This enhances their flavor. Let them cool completely, then grind into a fine powder. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of mustard oil in a large skillet or kadhai. Sauté the potatoes until lightly browned, then remove and set aside. Add the remaining chopped vegetables (onion, cauliflower, carrots, peas, and green chilies) to the skillet and sauté until slightly softened.
- In the rice cooker, combine the basmati rice, sautéed vegetables, ground spice powder, chakli (dried mango powder), bay leaves, ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, milk, salt, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Close the lid of the rice cooker and select the "Cook" or "Biryani" setting. Once the rice cooker switches to the "Warm" setting, the biryani is ready. Letting it rest on the "Warm" setting for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld.
- Garnish the Vegetable Biryani with fresh cilantro and roasted cashews. Serve hot with a side of yogurt and papad for a complete and satisfying meal.
