Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is a gently spiced, deeply flavoursome dish. Though the layered meat, onions and rice is relatively bland the sauce alongside lifts it beautifully. Would be nice part of a larger indian feast with some more assertive dishes.

    I was really proud of this. Have been playing with several different biryani recipes and the flavoring and texture on this was perfect. I also halved this recipe with no problem.

    Halved this to feed four, using two lamb shoulder steaks cubed. Absolutely delicious. As always with Meera Sodha the spicing is delicate and balanced, and the cooking times spot on. This is far better than any biryani I’ve been served by a takeaway.
