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.

    Loving the chicken biryani!

    It's our first time ordering from dinner ladies and I was not disappointed! The chicken biryani was delicious! It tasted really authentic and was loaded with lots of chicken pieces. So quick and easy to just heat up a nutritious dinner without having to order take out. Even my 3 year old enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be ordering more in the future. Looking forward to more exciting flavours!

    Yummy and so Flexible

    We have this for breakfast, lunch, snacks and as part of a dinner. Always delicious, chock full of chicken and nuts and so easy to cook. I make sure I always have a few in the freezer.
