Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup basmati rice ((soaked for at least 20 mins))
1 medium onion ((½ cup thinly sliced))
1 green chili ((slit or chopped) (skip for kids))
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
2 tablespoons mint leaves (chopped (pudina))
2 tablespoons coriander leaves (chopped (cilantro))
½ teaspoon red chilli powder ((or paprika, adjust to taste))
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¾ to 1 teaspoon garam masala ((adjust to taste) or Biryani Masala Powder)
1 small tomato ((optional) chopped)
1¾ cups water (or thin coconut milk (1¼ cups water for IP, 2 cups for regular pot))
1½ to 2 tablespoons Oil ((or ghee))
3 tablespoon curd or yogurt
⅛ teaspoon salt for veggies (+ ¼ tsp for water)
1 small potato or beans (cubed )
1 medium carrot (chopped (gajar))
⅓ cup green peas ((matar))
1 bay leaf ((tej patta))
1 inch cinnamon ((dalchini))
3 cloves (( laung))
3 green cardamoms ((elaichi))
½ teaspoon shahi jeera ((or cumin seeds))
1 star anise ((optional, but recommended))
10 fried cashews (for garnish (optional))
1 tablespoon lemon juice ((optional))

Steps:

  • Soak rice for at least 20 minutes. Drain the water and set aside.
  • Chop all the veggies, coriander and mint leaves. Keep these aside as well.
  • If using cauliflower keep them slightly larger.
  • Add oil to a hot pressure cooker or heavy bottom pot.
  • Next add bay leaf, star anise, shahi jeera, cloves, cardamoms & cinnamon. Saute for 1 to 2 mins.
  • Add sliced onions and slit green chilies. Fry them stirring often until the onions turn evenly golden or light brown.
  • Next add ginger garlic paste and saute for about a minute or until the raw smell has gone off.
  • Add all the chopped vegetables and fry for about 2 minutes.
  • Next add tomatoes, ⅛ teaspoon salt, yogurt, coriander leaves, mint leaves,red chilli powder, turmeric and garam masala.
  • Mix all of these and fry on a high flame for 2 to 3 mins. The tomatoes should break down completely and the raw smell disappear.
  • Reduce the flame to low. Drain the water from the rice completely and spread it in a layer evenly over the veggies.
  • Measure the water or coconut milk to a separate bowl & add ¼ tsp salt. Mix well and taste the water. It has to be slightly salty.
  • Pour the salted water across the sides or edges of the pot.
  • If you do not mix up everything then the veg biryani will cook in layers. (However you can also mix up everything and cook just like it is done normally.)
  • Optional - Sprinkle 1 tsp ghee, 2 tbsps chopped mint leaves, handful of fried onions & saffron soaked milk. (refer notes)
  • For pressure cooking: Cover the cooker and pressure cook for 1 whistle on a medium high flame.Turn off the stove. For al dente non mushy veg biryani, I release the pressure manually after 1 to 2 mins using a wooden spatula. When the pressure releases, open the lid and fluff up veg biryani with a fork.
  • If cooking in a pot, cook covered on a low flame until the water is absorbed and the veg biryani is cooked fully. Turn off the stove & rest for 15 mins. Serve veg biryani with raita or salan.
  • Optionally squeeze lemon juice while serving.
  • Press the SAUTE button on your IP and pour oil or ghee to the steel insert.
  • Add thinly sliced onions. Spread them to a single layer and saute occasionally until uniformly deep golden. Remove half of these and set aside for later.
  • Then add the whole spices and green chili. Then add the ginger garlic paste and saute until a nice smell comes out.
  • Add tomatoes, chopped veggies, mint, coriander leaves and sprinkle ⅛ teaspoon salt. Saute until the tomatoes breakdown. This takes about 1 to 2 mins.
  • Stir in the garam masala and red chilli powder.
  • Press CANCEL button & add yogurt. Deglaze by scraping the bottom of the pot with a spatula. This releases any bits of food stuck there.
  • Spread the veggies to a single layer. Next layer the drained rice and level it.
  • In another bowl, stir in ¼ teaspoon salt & 1¼ cup water and taste it. It has to be slightly salty. If needed add more.
  • Pour the water starting from the sides and then in the center. Do not mix. Ensure all of the rice is under the water.
  • Secure the IP with the lid. Position the steam release valve to sealing position.
  • Press pressure cook/ manual (set to high pressure) & set the timer for 5 mins. If you double or triple the recipe then set to low pressure with the same cook time. (Alternately you can pressure cook for 4 mins on high pressure setting and wait for 8 mins. Then release the rest manually.)
  • When the IP finishes, for aldente cooked vegetable biryani quick release the pressure manually. For softer rice, wait for 5 to 7 mins (natural pressure release) and then release the rest manually with the help of a spoon. Garnish with fried onions. Serve with Raita.

FAVORITE VEGETABLE BIRIYANI



Favorite Vegetable Biriyani image

This recipe takes a good amount of time and effort, but it is my favorite vegetable biriyani recipe.

Provided by Andtototoo

Categories     Indian

Time 3h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 33

2 teaspoons oil
3 cups white rice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
5 3/4 cups water
4 tablespoons oil
2 onions
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 cup green beans, diced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup frozen baby peas
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4-1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
2 cardamom pods
2 cloves
1 small dried red chili, halved
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 diced onion
3 -4 diced serrano chilies
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2-3/4 cup roasted cashews
1/4 cup minced cilantro

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE YELLOW RICE: In a large dutch oven (or other large pot) with a thick bottom put the 2 teaspoons of oil and the 3 cups rice.
  • Over medium heat stir the oil and rice together until all of the grains of rice are coated with the oil. Add the salt and turmeric and again mix until the turmeric is evenly distributed.
  • Increase the heat to high and add 5 3/4 cup water. Stir. Bring the water to a strong boil, cover, reduce heat to very low and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed. Remove the cover and fluff the rice. Let the rice cool.
  • TO MAKE THE ONION GARNISH: Meanswhile, while the rice is cooking, in a large nonstick frying pan put the 4 Tablespoons of oil. Peel the 2 onions and cut into half rounds. Stir-fry the onions over medium heat until dark brown, stirring frequently. Do not have the heat too high or the onions may burn. It should take about 20 minutes for the onions to be fully cooked and well browned. Put the onions on paper towels to absorb all of the oil.
  • TO MAKE THE VEGETABLE FILLING: Put the carrot pieces into a small bowl. Add water to generously cover the carrots and a little salt. Put into the microwave for 6-8 minutes until just tender. It may take longer or less time, depending on your microwave. Drain the carrots and put into a medium-size mixing bowl. Next, cook the green beans (or you can use lima beans) in the same way, draining them and adding them to the mixing bowl. The potatoes are cooked next. Add the frozen peas directly to the mixing bowl. The peas do not need to be cooked, they can be added frozen to the mixing bowl.
  • In the same frying pan that the onions were fried in put 3 Tablespoons oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds (optional), cardamom pods, and the whole cloves, and the small dried chili (halved).
  • Heat over high heat, tilting the pan back and forth frequently for even cooking, until the mustard seeds start popping and pop for about 15 seconds. Turn heat to very low and add the cooked vegetables (from the microwave), 1 Tablespoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Mix the vegetables and spices together until well blended, turn off the heat, and then return the vegetable mixture to the medium-size mixing bowl. You can add more salt if needed.
  • TO MAKE THE SEASONING PASTE: In a food processor put the diced onion, serrano chilies, garlic, ginger, unsweetened coconut, water, ground cumin and cinnamon. Puree.
  • In the same frying pan that the onions were fried in, add 4 Tablespoons oil, the pureed seasoning paste, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat over medium heat and cook, stirring nonstop (I usually use a spatula) for about 12 minutes, until well cooked.
  • At this point I usually stir the seasoning paste into the vegetables in the mixing bowl, or you can, when layering the biriyani, put the seasoning paste down on top of the vegetables in a layer of its own.
  • TO ASSEMBLE THE BIRIYANI: In a lightly oiled one-layer cake pan (9" x 13") , lay down half of the yellow rice. Next put down the seasoned vegetables. The layer of seasoning paste can be put on top of the vegetables as its own layer (unless you already stirred the seasoning paste into the vegetables). Top with the rest of the rice.
  • GARNISHES: Sprinkle the dark brown onions on top of the biriyani. Next, sprinkle the roasted cashew nuts (I often stir-fry the cashew nuts in ghee (also known as clarified butter) to give them a richer flavor.
  • Wrap foil securely over the top of the pan and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil and add the minced cilantro for the rest of the garnish.
  • NOTES: I like to serve this with a large bowl of seasoned yogurt or raita. If just using a seasoned yogurt, add a little water to the yogurt to thin it, and then add salt, ground cumin and a little cilantro (optional).
  • After making this recipe for a number of years, I began adding at least 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets also to the vegetable mixture. This does then mean that I add a little more of the spices to season the vegetables. I like a higher percent of vegetables in this biriyani recipe.
  • Cooking time is just the time that it takes to heat the assembled biriyani in the oven.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 teaspoon saffron, crumbled
1/4 cup nonfat milk
1 1/2 cups basmati rice, soaked in cold water 10 minutes and drained
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cinnamon stick, broken into 4 pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 plum tomatoes (about 1/2 pound), peeled, seeded, and chopped
6 ounces green beans, cut into thirds (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 cups)
2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) cashews

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine saffron and milk in a small bowl; set aside. Place rice in a medium saucepan with 1 1/2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stir once, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice has absorbed all the water, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring, until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove half the onions from pan, and reserve. Add remaining tablespoon oil along with the spices, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour 1 cup water into pan; bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add green beans, cauliflower, carrots, chickpeas, and salt; reduce heat to a simmer, and cover pan. Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Add peas, and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
  • Place one-third of the rice in a 3 1/2-quart heavy-bottom casserole or baking dish with a tight-fitting lid. Drizzle half the saffron milk over rice. Using a slotted spoon, transfer half the vegetable mixture to the casserole, leaving liquid behind. Place another one-third of rice on top; drizzle with remaining saffron milk. Repeat with remaining vegetables and rice. Spread reserved onions over the top; sprinkle with cashews.
  • Cover, and bake until casserole is heated through and aromatic, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly before serving.

ONE-POT VEGETABLE BIRYANI



One-Pot Vegetable Biryani image

Vegetable biryani may be the underdog of biryanis since it's often overshadowed by meatier varieties. But like other formidable yet unsung dishes, this one's adaptability helps it hold its own. Recipes vary across South Asia: Hyderabadi versions are known for their fieriness, while milder, nuttier variations dominate northern regions. This one falls somewhere in the middle. Use any vegetables you have, such as nutty cauliflower, sweet peas and crunchy carrots. Nuts and fresh or dried fruits add a confetti of flavors and textures. This recipe skips the layering typically called for in favor of conveniently stirring everything together. Luckily, using fewer dishes doesn't compromise flavor.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 cups basmati rice
1/4 cup ghee or any neutral oil
1 dried bay leaf
2 whole star anise (optional)
4 whole cloves
4 cardamom pods
4 fresh Thai green chiles or green finger chiles, stems removed
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon garlic paste or freshly grated garlic
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons Kashmiri red chile powder or other ground red chile
1 plum tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup chopped mint leaves
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small potato, peeled and finely diced
1 cup small cauliflower florets
1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1/2 cup cut green beans (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 1/2 cups unsalted vegetable stock or water
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 3 lemon slices
1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (optional)
1/4 cup toasted or fried cashews, halved (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice, cover with cold water in a bowl and soak for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat ghee in a large pot over medium until it melts, 30 to 45 seconds. Add bay leaf, star anise, cloves, cardamom and green chiles and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and fry, stirring often, until they start turning golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add ginger and garlic and continue frying and stirring until the raw smell dissipates, about 1 minute. Add turmeric and red chile powder and stir for 30 seconds to toast (don't let them burn). Add tomato and 2 tablespoons water. Add half of cilantro and mint. Continue stirring until the tomato starts to break down, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the carrot, potato, cauliflower, green peas, green beans, yogurt and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Drain the rice and add to the pot, along with the lemon juice and garam masala. Stir until everything is evenly mixed. Add the vegetable stock and stir. Cover and cook on medium for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir. Add the rest of the cilantro and mint and the lemon slices. Cover and cook on low for 20 minutes. Turn off the stove and let the pot stand for 15 minutes. Fluff the rice and garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and cashews if you like.
