Bangladeshi Lamb Biryani
Biryani is traditionally made with a leg of goat, but here we’ve made it with our delicious lamb mince from butchers Roaming Roosters. It’s a traditional dish from India and is often served at weddings and big occasions… and is also delicious as a mid-week meal! Enjoy!

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips
Boil 350ml of water(exactly) in a pot with 1/4 tsp of salt. Pour the rice into the pot, turn the heat to its lowest setting and put a lid on top. Leave the rice simmering on low heat for 10 mins, then rest off the heat for 10 mins. Tip: Do not lift the lid until 20 mins are up or your rice won’t cook.
Peel and chop the onion in half lengthways. Slice the onion very thinly into half moons. Peel and very finely chop the garlic. Chop the tomatoes into 2cm cubes. Chop the tops and bottoms from the green beans and cut into 4.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium low heat. Add your onions with ¼ tsp of salt and gently cook for 8 mins. For the last 2 mins add the curry powder and the garlic.
Turn the heat to medium. Add the lamb mince with a pinch of salt and cook until it has browned off. Add ¼ cup of water, the green beans and tomatoes, place a lid on the pan and cook on low for 6 mins.
Tip in your cooked rice and stir everything together.
Roughly chop 3 tbsp of mint and 3 tbsp of coriander and stir them through the biryani. Serve with a big dollop of natural yoghurton top. Tip: If you have any spare fresh herbs, add them as well - the more the merrier!
