Notes
You can use store-bought Cajun Seasoning, or can use Homemade Cajun Seasoning. You can store leftover Cajun Seasoning in an airtight container in store in a dry place.
You can cook onion at Low heat. This will brown onions without getting them burnt. If in hurry, you can fry them at High and keep stirring.
You can add Vegan Sausage, Soya Nuggets, or Grilled Jackfruit to get same authentic Jambalaya flavor.
You can make this dish with White Basmati Rice or Jasmine Rice. If making with Brown Rice, pressure cook for 15 minutes, as Brown Rice takes longer to cook.
