Chicken Biryani with Kachumber

  • Family Friendly

May we introduce you to your new favourite rice dish? Meet biryani. Biryani has origins in ancient Persia but long ago made its way to India, where no celebration is complete without it. Things can get rather intricate with this dish, but we've kept ours weeknight-easy with fast and fragrant flavour from tender chicken cooked directly into the spiced rice.
