Biryani

Tuesday's new dish was Parsnip, Eggplant, and Cashew Biryani (Indian vegetarian). Unfortunately we couldn't find parsnips and we decided that the daikons (see previous post) were a bad substitute so it became Eggplant and Cashew Biryani.

It was fun to make, even if it did take about 3 hours. Did you know that raisins plump up when heated with a little oil? You can actually watch them puff up into little balls. Very neat.

Tasted pretty good right out of the oven. Didn't heat up so well the next day. We'll probably try it again.
