    Indian Cauliflower rice

    cauliflower in Indian cuisine. With its delicate and mildly nutty flavor, cauliflower pairs beautifully with aromatic spices and fragrant basmati rice, resulting in a delightful one-pot meal.

    Why cauliflower

    It is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins C, K, and B6, as well as fiber and antioxidants. In addition to its nutritional value, cauliflower's neutral taste allows it to absorb the flavors of spices and other ingredients, making it a versatile addition to various dishes.

    CAN I SKIP BIRYANI MASALA

    Yes, but in that case add extra masala powders accordingly. 

    RICE FOR  PULAO

    I have used basmati rice. You can use any variety of rice according to your choice. Adjust water accordingly

    SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

    For the instant pot version, don’t soak the rice. If you are planning to soak in a pressure cooker, soak for 15 mins.

    CAN I SKIP GHEE AND MAKE VEGAN gobhi PULAO?

    Ghee gives amazing flavor to the biryani so I use prefer using ghee. If you are planning to make it vegan skip ghee

    CAN I SKIP CURD?

    Yes, but in that case add tomatoes accordingly

    SIDE DISH FOR gobi BIRYANI

    Biryani goes well with  gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan,and raita

    CAN I COOK cauliflower pulao IN THE pressure cooker?

    Soak rice for 15 minutes. follow the rest of the steps. pressure cook for 2 whistles.
