Cooking Steps

Chop the vegetables
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a lidded pot or saucepan.
  • Crush or mince the garlic. Peel the ginger and then finely chop or grate it.
  • Cut the head of the cauliflower into florets and dice the stem. Chop the onion into half rings.
  • Boil the cauliflower for 4 - 6  minutes with the lid on, then drain and set aside without the lid.
Prepare the biryani
2
  • Heat a large deep frying pan without any oil over medium-high heat, then toast the garam masala, turmeric and yellow curry spices for 30 seconds.
  • Add a light drizzle of olive oil and fry the garlic and ginger for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice, bay leaf, water and stock cube (see pantry for amounts). Put the lid on and cook the rice for 12 - 14 minutes, stirring regularly. Add some more water if the rice gets too dry.
Fry the cauliflower
3
  • Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken thigh stripes and onion for 5 minutes. 
  • After 5 minutes, add the cauliflower and fry it for 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Add the spinach and wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Prepare the garnishes
4
  • Roughly chop the almonds.
  • Roughly chop the flat leaf parsley.
  • Cut the lime into wedges.

Did you know... just one handful of nuts (25g) does a whole lot of good for your body: nuts help to reduce LDL cholesterol, which helps to keep blood vessels healthy.

Finish off the rice
5
  • Take the bay leaf out of the pan.
  • When the rice is done, add the cauliflower, onion, spinach and chicken.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
6
  • Serve the biryani onto deep plates and drizzle over the yogurt.
  • Garnish with the almonds, parsley and 1 lime wedge each.
