Get your Vegan Biryani Recipe - Charcoal Eats

Vegan biryani, like many vegan and vegetarian dishes, came into existence as a way for people who follow a plant-based diet to enjoy traditional meat-based dishes without compromising their values or dietary restrictions. As the popularity of veganism and vegetarianism has grown, many people have begun looking for creative ways to adapt classic dishes to fit their dietary needs.

Vegan biryani likely became a trend in Western countries where Indian cuisine is popular, and a plant-based diet is catching up. Many Indian-inspired restaurants and food trucks in the west started serving vegan options, which include vegan biryani.

The recipe and the ingredients used in the vegan biryani are quite similar to the traditional one, with the only difference being that meat is replaced with plant-based protein like chickpeas, lentils, tofu, and other vegetables to make it rich and flavorful. Furthermore, instead of using Ghee or other animal-based fats, it can be made by using plant-based oils, making it a suitable option for vegans.

In recent years, with growing awareness and interest in plant-based diets, vegan biryani has gained popularity with vegans and vegetarians, and meat-eaters looking for a healthier and more sustainable option.
