Instructions for the Biryani
Heat coconut oil in a large pan and add your root vegetables. Sauté for up to 10 mins to soften the mixture of veggies.
Stir together your spices in a small bowl and add the spices (including the garam masala) to the pan.
Add the riced cauliflower, peas, red pepper, and yellow squash. Stir often and allow to cook for an additional 10 mins.
Pour in the liquids, nuts and dried fruit and cook for 10 to 15 more minutes on low until the liquid is absorbed.
