Chicken biryani

Chicken biryani

Only the certifiably crazy would make this biriyani – a multi-layered, regal Mughal dish of spiced rice and chicken – from scratch. First there’s the basmati rice cooked in spiced stock with peas, then the marinated free-range chicken, the fried onions and crunchy toasted almonds. The final kicker? A sachet of saffron butter that melts to enrich and elevate the finished dish. Zap it in the microwave – and feast like a rajah. 

To Serve

Serve with a refreshing cucumber raita, and roti bread on the side as well as any chutneys you have to hand.

* We don’t add preservatives or additives to our meals – we cook with the same real ingredients you would find in your home fridge and pantry. Some of these household ingredients do contain sub-ingredients, for example Dijon mustard contains sulphites and crushed tomatoes contain citric acid. We try to find products with as few additives as possible and always list every ingredient in our meals, both here and on the label.

    Wonderful!

    The chicken biryani is wonderful - great flavours, lots of meat and a generous serving size. I served with steamed asian greens and roti bread. Will definitely be adding this again to my next order!
