I’ve now cooked this twice and it’s one of my favourites. When I don’t want a gravy with my meal, this hits the spot. The only addition I make is adding dried Kashmiri Chillies, these are delicious and soft boiled in the rice water. Thanks

Another very tasty meal. Just added dried Kashmiri Chilies at the start and a little Black Salt. We cheated with Bhaji, Pakora & the Samosa (Costco), but made the Green Chutney myself. The Chutney was good, but not as good as I remember a friend from Jodhpur had made us at his home in Singapore. If you could add this to your recipe app please :-)

Cooked this at the weekend - the ‘panic’ rice trick worked very well. I like my food quite spicy, and felt this needed a bit more heat for my taste, but good nonetheless.

yes this is a mild rice dish that goes with a curry- its not like a stand alone biryani x

Can't edit the comment, but wanted to ask what people are serving with this? Would love some veg with it.
