"The Biryani kit has been the best discovery for me. Our family eats Biryani from the Spicecraft box at least once a week. Other people join when they hear I am cooking. I buy multiple boxes at a time."

  1. A pinch of saffron can add some extra oomph to your Biryani. Steep saffron strands in 2 tbsp warm milk for an hour. Sprinkle it over the rice when adding the melted butter to layer 2. 
  2. Serve with a refreshing Raita on the side. Combine 2 cups of plain yogurt with finely chopped onion and cucumber, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt and a big squeeze of lemon
