Thread: Syn Free Chicken Biryani

Cooked this last night and it was fab, so I thought i'd share it its a recipe that I made up after Sainsburys didn't have a Biryani Flavourfuls mix!!

This is what I used:
3 chicken breasts
2 peppers, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 chilli
8oz basmati rice (rinsed)
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 pint water
Frozen peas (didn't measure - just chucked in!!)
2 - 3 tsp cumin
1tsp medium curry powder
1tsp cinnimon
1tsp ground ginger
1tsp ground tumeric
1/2 tsp crushed chillies (for extra heat - optional!)
2 tsp corriander leaf

Finely chop garlic and chilli and lightly fry in a pan. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins.
Add chicken and all the spices. Fry for 7-8 mins.
Add peppers, tinned tomatoes, water and rice. Bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15 mins until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been evaporated. Add peas and cook for the last 2 mins :-) xx
(I sprinkled a bit more cumin and corriander in whilst it was cooking cos it started looking a bit "red" from the tomatoes rather than like a curry!! Also, if you can get fresh corriander to sprinkle in top once its served up, it will add a bit of extra something)

Hi Barsi - thanks for the recipe - had it tonight, but substituted mushrooms for the peppers, as I'm not a fan of peppers. It was lovely!

Just made this for dinner this evening! Was delicious! I would highly recommend!

This is my hubbys favourite! Might cook it for tea tomorrow

Thanks for this was thinking what I was going to cook for tonights dinner. Now I know. As I wanted something different to the chicken curry recipe on the SW website. Thanks again x

Thanks Barsi, this sounds delicious

Hope you all enjoy as much as wel do :-) x
