Ingredients
Basmati rice: Look for extra-long grain rice, it gives amazing texture to biryani. Jackfruit chunks: I bought frozen green jackfruit from the Asian market. If you can’t find it, you can use canned jackfruit. Onions and tomatoes: Sliced onions and chopped tomatoes form the base of this biryani. Ginger-garlic paste: A staple in Indian cooking, ginger-garlic paste adds a depth of flavor to this recipe. Whole spices: The traditional whole spices like garam masala, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, star anise make all the difference in this dish. Plant-based yogurt: I use plain plant-based almond yogurt to make the biryani more creamy and add a tangy flavor. You can also use regular yogurt if you’re not vegan. Cashews: Adding cashews gives a nice nutty flavor and texture to the biryani. Mint and cilantro: Chopped fresh herbs add freshness and an authentic Indian touch to this dish. Biryani masala: This store-bought masala blend adds a rich and aromatic flavor to the biryani.
