Pumpkin Biryani Holy Cow Vegan Recipes

I have for you today a delicately spiced, absolutely stunning Pumpkin Biryani topped with candied cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Try it and, I promise you, it will be a hit at your Thanksgiving dinner table. Something magical happens when you marry pumpkin with spices, as anyone who’s eaten a vegan pumpkin pie knows. Here’s a vegetable that, without the magic of spices, would be – at best – bland and boring. But sprinkle on some spice – usually cinnamon and nutmeg – and it turns into something delightful and delicious. For my Pumpkin Biryani I used spices more typical to a biryani, of course, but this combination is just as unbeatable as the cinnamon and nutmeg. The creamy, sweet pumpkin is perfectly enhanced by the biryani spices, and it gives the rice a richness and satisfying heft. This is also a healthy recipe, as most recipes here at Holy Cow! are. There are just 169 calories in each serving, which means you can save plenty of room for the vegan gravy and the pie. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
