I like to use plain and unsweetened coconut yogurt as the mild coconut flavor pairs well with Indian cuisine, but any plant based plain yogurt will work. You get a flavorful, saucy, and delicious meal. It starts with a curry marinated protein (and/or vegetable), which is then cooked up with onion, garlic, ginger, chiles and tomato. The curry layer is the most complex of the layers. This only takes 5-7 minutes for white rice. Rinse the soaked rice really well, then cook it in a lot of salted boiling water, similarly to how pasta is cooked, until the rice is about 3/4 of the way cooked. I use this time to prepare the other components of the recipe. Next, soak the basmati rice for 20-30 minutes. Combine the saffron and plant milk in a small dish and let sit until you’re ready to use it 30+ minutes later. Saffron can be soaked in warm water or milk (I choose a non dairy milk) to release its color and scent. The first step of the rice layer is preparing the saffron. The saffron soaks into some of the kernels of rice in the top layer, making for a gorgeous golden hue staining some of the rice and adding a floral/earthy/almost indescribable essence that is saffron. To finish the dish, a drizzle of saffron infused milk tops the rice. These are optional, if you’d prefer you can just squeeze lemon juice on at the end to serve. Then, we have a layer of thinly sliced lemons. Mint and cilantro are their own very important layer, as are roasted cashews.

Then we have the fried potato layer and the fried onion layer. Next we have the curry layer, consisting of a curry-yogurt marinated protein (and/or vegetable). Typically white rice is used, but brown could be substituted with some changes to cooking length. The rice is basmati, a fragrant, fluffy, and non-sticky long grain. It’s could be described as a layered rice casserole. And while there are different kinds of biryani there are some unifying themes. I use a mixture of chickpeas and cauliflower instead of the meat, and this means you get your protein and your veggies aka a win-win!įor those unfamiliar with biryani, I’ll give a quick run through. While a lot of Sindhis are vegetarian, Sindhi biryani is commonly found with meat. I’m Sindhi, so making a vegan version of the famous Sindhi biryani was a must do. There are many kinds of biryani out there, with different regions making claim to variations on the dish. A spiced and herbed creamy yogurt sauce, it’s the perfect tangy, cooling accompaniment for biryani. Well, I say on its own, but really it should be served with vegan raita. It’s also a complete meal–while it can accompany other dishes, it’s meant to stand on its own. But it’s also not a difficult recipe to make, and it makes a lot of food. There’s a long list of ingredients (which I’ve done my best to refine for you), and there are multiple components to it. I will admit right here that biryani is not the simplest recipe.
