Ingredients

• 4 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 1 medium, diced Bell pepper
• 1 small, diced Zucchini
• 1 cup, thawed and chopped Frozen green beans
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 2 Cardamom pods
• 4 Cloves
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf. Sauté for 1 minute until the spices release their aroma.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, for about 5–7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and ginger and sauté for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomato softens and breaks down, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Stir in the cauliflower rice and mix until the spices and vegetables are evenly combined.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garam masala over the mixture along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and let the biryani cook for 5–7 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Remove the lid and add the chopped cilantro, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Mix gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Vegetable Biryani!
