I didn’t have bay leaves, but it still turned out good. Great recipe!
Turned out great, but my family didn’t enjoy it. They prefer the chicken version.
I’m sorry your family didn’t like it! Vegan food can be a tough sell for some. Maybe try adding some spices they enjoy more?
This is the best vegan biryani I’ve ever tried! So flavorful and easy to make.
Super yummy and packed with veggies! I added some tofu for protein.
Yum! I’m not even vegan, but this was super tasty! I added some chickpeas for extra protein.
Easy to follow! My kids loved helping out. Will make again!
Easy? Not sure about that. It took me ages to figure out the spices! Maybe I’m just not a great cook though…
So glad your kids enjoyed it! Cooking together is the best way to bond. What did they like the most?
Honestly, I found it a bit bland. Needs more spices!
My fam didn’t like it at all… What’s Biryani?? Taste like some wet rice 😞
YAWN. Not impressed. Gave it a shot but didn’t live up to the hype.
Idk about this…just tasted like rice with veggies.
I’m not vegan, but I think this is really tasty. Good recipe!
Glad you liked it! The flavors are sooo good in this dish! Vegan or not, it’s a winner.
I dunno, it looks ok but I prefer my biryani with meat, ya know? Just personal taste.
I don’t know if I did it wrong, but mine turned out really mushy. I wish there were more tips for avoiding that.
Nice recipe, but you forgot to mention how to make it spicy! I love it when it burns a little haha! 🌶️🔥
Vegan? No thanks! I like my biryani with meat. This isn’t real food.
This is the best vegan biryani I’ve ever made! So flavorful and easy to follow. Will definitely make it again!
I followed the recipe but it came out too dry. Maybe I needed more water?
I messed up and used brown rice. Cooking time was way off! Still tasted decent.
Yum! I added some extra chili powder and it was fire!
Chili powder sounds like a great addition! I love a little heat in my biryani too. What other spices did you try?
Extra chili powder? I wouldn’t risk it! Biryani should be flavorful but not burning my mouth, lol!
This biryani is just as good as the meat version! Loved it!
So good! The spices make it really special. A bit spicy for me tho!
You call this biryani? 😂🤦♂️
My friend said biryani has meat, but I think this is amazing as it is!
Why isn’t there chicken in this biryani? That’s not how you make biryani!
