Biryani is Best

5/5

The original was not a biriani, but it should have been!

Chef

Watching Romy Gill on James Martin Saturday Morning program, I was so impressed with the relative simplicity of the recipe I thought I would replicate it here for myself and modify the quantities so they are better for me.

This makes a good meal for two, twice. The second 'meat' portion can be frozen for another day as it freezes really well. Make the rice fresh for each meal.

Note to self: Level teaspoons only unless stated otherwise.

Chef's notes

Cardamom pods; check the strength! Having used very old cardamom pods for many years, I found that newly purchases, fresh pods have a much stronger flavour and can dramatically change the flavour of your curries. Be sparing; I now only use two pods in this recipe though originally I would have chucked a handful of old cardamon pods in a curry.
