A Tribute to the Biryani

In July last year, our Featured Dish was the great Chicken Tikka Biryani – and since then we’ve seen more of you order it and love it. For those of you who missed it, we’re going to take a step back and celebrate this king of Indian dishes all over again!

It’s difficult to know what is the best feature of this meal is. A biryani includes rice cooked with the meat of your choice and a vegetable curry spiced to your own specification. Should we celebrate the value for money – after all it is a meal in one? Should we celebrate the fantastic flavour created by the unique method of coming the meat and rice together? Or should we just celebrate the fact that this is an incredible dish and tell you to go and enjoy it!

A personal preference is to go for lamb as your choice of meat – our tender cooked lamb complements the dish to perfection – and then for a nice and spicy accompanying curry – after all – it is you who controls how much you have to have in each mouthful!
