Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

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.

    I made a much smaller quantity than the recipe, and ended up using half lamb neck and half chicken leg (all deboned and diced). The flavours of the meat layer were really nice, but overall the biryani was too dry. Recipe says to get the meat down to a stage where it is "quite dry" but next time I'd leave more liquid. The rice also was a bit bland because it wasn't cooked with any aromatics. Overall this was an OK biryani recipe but I've definitely made better.
