How it works

1. Explore your kit
Open your cooking kit and discover all the authentic spices carefully blended and pre-portioned for you. Each kit includes recipe cards with easy, step-by-step instructions.
2. Gather fresh ingredients
Check the recipe card for the list of fresh ingredients you'll need. For the Hyderabadi Biryani you will need your choice of protein (chicken/lamb/fish or veg), good quality Basmati Rice, fresh mint and coriander and some yogurt
3. Cook in stages
Marinade protein in yogurt+spices, parboil rice in spices, layer with fried onions and cook on gentle heat in the over so the rice finishes cooking in all the juices.
4. Serve with cooling Raita
Garnish with a drizzle of butter or ghee. Serve with a quick Raita made with yogurt, diced tomatoes and cucumber. Biryani tastes even better the next day. Store for 2 days in the fridge or two months in the freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Biryani take 90 mins?

Making a proper Hyderabadi Biryani typically takes hours. With this kit, it is ready in just an hour and a half - and most of that time is in the oven. It is a simple matter of marinading the meat, parboiling the rice, then layering them with fried onions and cooking them in the oven on gentle heat.

Why do people love Biryani so much?

Most Indians rank Biryani in their top 3 favourite dishes, if not number 1. It is the combination of gently cooked rice in fragrant spices and meat that hits all the flavour centres of the brain. There are over 200 types of Biryani in India, and this dum (steam cooked) style Hyderabadi Biryani is the best of them.

I cook for 1 or 2 people - is this too much Biryani for me?

This kit makes almost 2 kg of Biryani, enough for 6 generous serves. The best part is that the Biryani tastes better the next day. So if you have leftovers or like to meal prep, make it all in one go and freeze.
