Prepare now, eat laterThis is not a dish that can be reheated again. But, the boiled eggs can be prepared in advance, cooled and stored in a fridge.
Top tips• You can buy pre-cooked rice in the shops. But if you are cooking
it yourself, you’ll need about 200g of raw rice to give 500g of cooked rice.
• To hard boil the eggs, place them in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil then simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
• You can make this recipe with a different curry paste, such as Korma if you like a milder dish or Madras for a hotter result.
Additional Instructions
Vegetarian biryani – add 400g Quorn™ fillets. Prepare and cook as for the chicken instructions.
Beef biryani – add 400g diced beef frying steak.
