Cauliflower Rice | Gobi Pulav | Cauliflower Biryani

Gobi biryani or cauliflower rice is a simple Indian rice recipe. It is an easy one-pot recipe, prepared with cauliflower, spices, herbs and basmati rice. For making cauliflower biryani, we use basmati rice, which is also known as biryani rice. It is non-sticky and gives perfect flavor to the biryani. The amount of water required to cook rice depends on which rice you are using.

Cauliflower biryani is the best meal option for lunch or dinner. We can make biryani in a pot or in a pressure cooker. I am sharing the recipe for cauliflower biryani in a pressure cooker in this post.
