Last night I was coming home late from Hannah's, so I made it the day to try a new shortcut I'd been pondering.
In the morning before leaving, I plugged my rice cooker — it's restaurant-style, Tiger brand — into the automatic light timer and set it to come on at 4 p.m. Then I added brown rice, enough water to cook it, the contents of a commercial package of Vegetable Biryani Spice Mix, and half a bag of frozen peas and carrots. Also a handful of frozen red bell pepper strips. And a glob of coconut oil. And then I went away.
When we got home, the house smelled wonderful. To the rice cooker I added a handful of raisins and another handful of almonds. These warmed up while I put the other things on the table. We had the vegetable biryani with plain yogurt, chopped cucumber, steamed fresh green beans, and sliced fresh pears. Pretty good!
