Instructions

- Now cover with foil and place a tigfht fitting lid onto the dish in order to the trap the steam as the biryani is warming through.

- 10 minutes before your biryani is ready, warm the baingan in a pan on your stove, simmer gently until piping hot.
- Once the biryani has been baking for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, peel back foil (check to see it is piping hot and above 70°C) and garnish with the kibbled onions, more fresh mint and coriander.

Absolutely awesome. A real taste of India. The goat was beautifully tender, and the spicing of the dish incredible. Loved the aubergine side along with the salad. Will be ordering this again.

Totally delicious, plenty for 6 greedy people (although I did supplement with naan), and very simple to put together. A proper feast, and excellent value for money even with the carriage. As someone said previously, you won’t be disappointed, and I will definitely order this biryani again.
