Biryani

Biryani is a celebration of all that is great about Indian food! The aromas, the vibrant colour, that fluffy rice. Choose from a chicken biryani, vegetable biryani or other protein of choice.

Madhur Jaffrey's Shrimp Biryani

Biryani is a rice-based dish cooked with a whole mess of different spices, and usually, though not always, some kind of meat. When that meat is lamb or beef, it consequently takes some time to cook, which means I don't get to write about this dish too often. But this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's At Home with Madhur Jaffrey solves that problem by using shrimp, so that this dish can be whipped up in less than hour with absolutely no shortcuts.

Chicken and Rice With Almonds and Dried Cherries

Originally, this chicken and rice dish, with its mix of cinnamon and almonds, reminded me of Morocco, which isn't such a bad place to be. But then I realized that the spices are just as comfortable in India. In the end, I decided that as long it tasted good I would let the dish remain a bit ambiguous.
