Ingredients
Jackfruit and Spice Mixture
- 1 bowl Jackfruit
- ½ cup Onion Paste
- 1 tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 2 tsp Biryani Masala
- 1 ½ tsp Salt or to taste
Vermicelli and Garnish
- 1 bowl Vermicelli
- 2 tsp Ghee
- ¼ cup Cashews
- 2 Tbsp Raisins
- 2 Tbsp Milk for soaking raisins (optional)
Other Ingredients
- ½ cup Onions fried
- ½ cup Yogurt
- Oil as needed
- Aluminum Foil as needed, for serving
Instructions
- In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the jackfruit and sauté until lightly browned. Set aside.
- In the same pan, add the onion paste, ginger paste, and garlic paste. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown. This builds a rich flavor base for the biryani.
- Return the jackfruit to the pan. Add the red chili powder, biryani masala, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Add the yogurt and fried onions. Mix thoroughly. Sprinkle a little water over the mixture and cook until the jackfruit is tender and the flavors meld.
- In a separate pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the vermicelli and roast until golden brown and fragrant. This toasting process enhances the nutty flavor of the vermicelli.
- If using, soak the raisins in warm milk for about 10 minutes to plump them. This step is optional but adds a touch of sweetness and texture.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the toasted vermicelli and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain any excess water.
- Combine the cooked jackfruit mixture, cooked vermicelli, cashews, and drained raisins. Mix gently.
- Serve the jackfruit vermicelli biryani hot, garnished with aluminum foil for a touch of presentation.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the vermicelli in a dry pan until golden before cooking. This prevents it from becoming mushy and adds a nutty flavor.
- If using canned jackfruit, rinse and squeeze out excess brine, then sauté briefly to evaporate moisture to prevent a soggy biryani.
- Layer the cooked vermicelli and jackfruit mixture in your pot, sprinkle with fried onions, and drizzle with saffron-infused warm plant milk (or regular milk) for added aroma.
- This recipe can easily be made vegan by using plant-based alternatives for biryani masala, ghee, and milk (e.g., coconut oil and nut milk).
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, bloom the spices in hot oil or ghee before adding the other ingredients.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder to the biryani masala.
- Garnish the finished biryani with fresh cilantro, mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover biryani in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat thoroughly in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
