Hyderabad Biryani is arguably the most popular Biryani in India. Our version stays true to its roots with the use of mild spices and fragrant herbs that are woven into the tangy and warming yoghurt base sauce. A well-loved classic Indian dish for all food-lovers.
Our Biryanis contain 3 pouches - a spiced and cooked Basmati rice, a cook-in sauce and dried, whole spices. These convenient kits are easy to use and take as little as 15 minutes to prepare. Just fry the spices, add your protein or vegetables and cook-in sauce and once cooked, top with the rice and steam.
