Vegetarian Biryani step by step
- In a baking tray, add the cauliflower florets and pout 1 tbsp olive oil and some salt on it..
- Bake it in a 170 C oven for 30 min. Stir them when they are 15 min into the oven..
- Once they are nice and brown and cooked, keep aside until further use..
- In a pan, heat some oil for shallow frying..
- Pat dry the potato slices and add them to the oil..
- Cook them until they are nice golden and cooked..
- Take them out of the pan and keep aside..
- In a cooker, put 2 tbsp ghee and add the black cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon..
- Add the rice and add just enough water that covers the rice about 1/4th of an inch above..
- Cook it upto 2 whistles and set it aside..
- In another pan, add 3-4 tbsp ghee..
- Fry shahi jeera, ginger garlic paste in it and add the onions. Cook until they are nice and brown..
- Add green chillies..
- Now add the puree, turmeric powder, salt, cumin powder, dhaniya powder and red chilly powder..
- Cook the masala until it floats on top..
- Now turn off the gas and mix in the fresh cream and malai..
- Mix them well and turn on the gas on low flame..
- Add the caluliflower to it and mix..
- Turn off the gas and rest the curry..
- In a serving dish [I used a porcelain one] put a thin layer of rice..
- Now spread out a layer of the potatoes..
- Add the curry on top of them and put another layer of rice on top..
- In some warm milk, add Saffron and let it sit until it is nice and golden in color..
- Pour at alternate places over the rice. You may use green color too..
- Sprinkle corriander and friend onion on top and keep it in the oven to keep warm until use..
- I covered it with foil before putting in the oven..
- Serve it with a light curry of your choice/salan/raita..
- It did get me a pat on the back from the rice loving pati :).
