The Best Vegan Biryani
This super easy and delicious Vegan Biryani is bursting with Indian-inspired flavors. It can be made on the stovetop or the Instant Pot pressure cooker! Naturally gluten-free.
My Indian food love affair continues with this Indian-inspired take on Vegan Biryani! This aromatic rice dish has been family fave of ours for years and can also be found in my cookbook The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. It is fabulous on its own, served alongside other Indian dishes or topped off with a favorite condiment or two. The veggies and other ingredients in this recipe offer a taste journey like no other. Enjoy!
It is absolutely delicious! And a crowd pleaser. I will make it again for our next gathering.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
