Vegetable Biryani image

Vegetarian recipe from about.com. This is one of my husband's fav vegetarian recipes we have tried. He requests it all the time and even takes the leftovers for lunch. I really wouldn't leave out any ingredients, because the flavors all work so nicely together. The raisins really help to cut the spicy curry. Also, I end up using less of the curry paste, but it depends on your taste and what kind you purchase. If you don't like things too spicy, start off with less and build your way up to suit your taste. Note: Curry paste and powder are not the same and I do not recommend using powder for this recipe. ;)

I don't think this recipe is worth the effort. I've had better biryani at restaurants.

The rice was a bit mushy. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This biryani was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
