Golden Vegetable Biryani with Crispy Onions
Fragrant basmati rice layered with protein-packed tofu and cauliflower, finished with a golden crown of crispy onions for a savory crunch in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz extra firm tofu
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 cup canned chickpeas
0 cup cooked basmati rice
0.5 cup frozen green peas
0.5 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup red onion
0 tsp avocado oil
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric, and garam masala.
Toss the tofu cubes in the yogurt mixture and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced red onions until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel.
In the same skillet, add the cauliflower florets and chickpeas, sautéing for 5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften.
Add the marinated tofu and any remaining yogurt sauce to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables.
Stir in the green peas and cooked basmati rice, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low, allowing the biryani to steam for 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Garnish the dish with the reserved crispy onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
