Vegetable biryani from River Cottage Veg Everyday! by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

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.

Notes about this recipe

    I had never made biryani before and I had never even tasted it, so I was not sure what to expect. The list of ingredients was pretty long but I had all the spices at home so I gave it a try. The only thing missing was the coriander at the end, other than that I followed the recipe to the letter. It took longer than I thought to put together, so it's not a good choice for a weeknight meal. We enjoyed the result, although my husband would have liked it to be spicier. We might do it again as it's quite a healthy dish, with just a few spoons of oil necessary and lots of veggies, but I am not sure I would make this when inviting people over.

    This was not particularly flavorful for an Indian dish. It also felt like it was missing some form of richness to it.

    This one went off without a major hitch. The rice stayed fluffy, the curry was distinctly fragrant, and the meal came together with relative ease.
