Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Shemin’s Biryani / Pilau Spice Blend
  • 3 tbsp natural yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp crushed ginger
  • 1 tsp salt (optional)
  • 500g lamb leg, chicken, or beef, cut into thin strips (if vegetarian you can substitute this with chickpeas)
  • 300g basmati rice, washed, and soaked for 30 mins
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 600ml water
  • handful pomegranate seeds (optional)

How to make Pilau Rice

  1. Mix Shemin’s Biryani / Pilau Spice Blend, yoghurt, garlic, ginger and salt in a bowl. Add the meat and coat well. Leave to marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  2. Heat a lidded pan, large enough to hold both the meat and rice together, over a medium heat and add the oil. Then add the onions and fry until brown.
  3. Add the marinated meat with all the sauce and cook for about 8 minutes until sealed. Then add the drained rice and 600ml water. When starting to boil, put the lid on.
  4. Turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 mins. Then, still keeping the pan covered, take off the heat and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Scatter with pomegranate seeds before serving.

Super flavours - we are addicted! Particularly love the curry pastes and sauces. Mango chutney is so delicious.

My husband enjoys all the pickles but we have to buy Lime pickle elsewhere. Is this something that might be offered in the future.
