Biryani Mix
Okay, okay, we admit we were wrong – partly, anyway. Through all the years that customers have asked for a biryani mix, we have maintained our belief that for a true, classic biryani there are more spices needed, at different stages of preparation, than can be put into a single blend. But we’ve listened to what you want, and for a quick, everyday biryani for the family, there is now a delicious spice blend to make it easy for you. Make it using chicken, lamb, vegetables or hard-boiled eggs – it works whichever preference you follow. The 40g pack is enough for two meals serving 4-6, and the price is $4.70.
Everyone tells us that they love the recipes on the backs of our packs, and in many cases the recipes fall easily into place with very little tweaking. The recipe for the biryani, however, took us many tries before finally meeting with our approval. We tried to make it a one-step, all-in-the-saucepan, meal but kept ending up with a rice dish with the consistency of a risotto. If you like it like that, go ahead and simply add the rice and liquid to your meat and cook it all on the stove top. Our preference is for a drier rice consistency, with each grain separating easily from the next, and for this it really has to go into the oven after being part-cooked in a saucepan. Go on, go the extra step, and you’ll agree with us that it’s worth it.
