Description

Rice and vegetables cooked together under a sealed lid, dum style, so the steam has nowhere to go and every grain takes on the spice. Cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and mint, no shortcuts and no dairy, which makes it quietly vegan without making a thing of it. A whole meal in one box, cooked by hand in our kitchen at Silent Pool. Add raita and a spoon of chutney and there is nothing else to think about.

Our barn, our recipes

Cooked in a barn above Silent Pool

This gravy starts the way it did in Mandira's family kitchen in Calcutta: whole spices, toasted and ground the same morning, cream stirred in slowly so it never splits.

We cook in small batches in a 400-year-old barn in the Surrey Hills, then blast-freeze every pot the day it's made. Cooked, then frozen. That order is the whole point.

Vegetable Biryani, Layered and Steamed the Dum Way

Our vegetable biryani (we spell it biriyani, the Calcutta way) is basmati and spiced vegetables cooked together in a sealed pot, so the rice steams in the spices and takes up every bit of the flavour. Cauliflower, carrots and peas, saffron, whole spices and separate, fragrant grains. This is dum-cooked veg biryani, not rice with vegetables stirred through, and it happens to be vegan. Made by hand overlooking Silent Pool.

HOW SPICY IS IT
Mild and fragrant, gentle enough for children, with warmth from the spices rather than chilli.

WHAT IS IN IT
Basmati rice, cauliflower, carrots, peas, onion, saffron and freshly ground whole spices. It is suitable for vegans. We cook in a kitchen that also handles gluten, nuts and dairy, so ring us if you have a serious allergy.

HOW TO HEAT IT
Straight from the freezer, four to five minutes in the microwave or thirty in the oven. Fork it through before serving so the grains separate.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH IT
A raita to cool it and a naan alongside, though this veg biryani is a full meal for two on its own. Add a dal and you have a spread.

WHY BUY OUR VEGETABLE BIRYANI
Whether you type vegetable biryani or vegetable biriyani, this is the vegan one worth buying: a proper dum biryani from an award-winning kitchen, made in small batches and delivered across the UK. Order yours and keep a real biryani in for the nights a takeaway will not do.
