This ancient dish traces its roots to India's Kayastha community, who developed it as a unique variation of biryani. In tahiree, rice and other elements cook together, while biryani rice is cooked separately and then layered with meat and vegetables.
1/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon cracked peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
9 cardamom pods
6 whole cloves
3 bay leaves
3 dried red chiles de arbol
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1-1/4 pounds cauliflower florets (about 1/2 large head)
2 large red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cups basmati rice (found in supermarket Asian aisle or use long grain white rice)
1 cup frozen petite green peas
4 cups water
1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; cook, stirring frequently, about 2-1/2 minutes or until cumin browns. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in cauliflower, potatoes, and turmeric; reduce heat to medium, and cook 1 minute. Add rice; cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in peas and 4 cups water.
