Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut eggplant into small chunks. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Cut brown onion into wedges. Finely chop garlic. • Place eggplant, cauliflower and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

2

• SPICY! The curry paste is spicy so use a little less if you prefer your biryani mild. • Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook masala paste, Sri Lankan spice blend, dried curry leaves, garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.

3

• Add basmati rice and currants to the saucepan and stir to coat. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir to dissolve, then bring to the boil. • Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low-medium. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • Add roasted veggies and the baby spinach leaves and stir to combine. Season to taste.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

4

• Divide Sri Lankan masala and eggplant biryani between bowls. • Top with garlic dip and roasted peanut & cashew mix to serve. Enjoy!
