Description

Fragrant basmati and boneless chicken, layered, sealed and steamed the dum way, which simply means cooked under a tight lid so the rice drinks up everything around it. A whole meal in one box. Every part of India will tell you its biriyani is the real one, and every part is wrong except mine. Ours is Hyderabadi, all saffron, depth and slow-built spice. It asks for nothing more than a spoon of raita and a little chutney.

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.

Chicken Biryani, Layered and Steamed the Dum Way

Our chicken biryani (we spell it biriyani, the Calcutta way) is basmati rice and boneless chicken cooked together in a sealed pot, so the rice steams in the spices and takes up every bit of flavour. This is dum biryani, not rice with a curry stirred through it. Saffron, whole spices and slow-cooked chicken give you a biryani with distinct, separate grains and real depth. We make it in small batches at our Silent Pool kitchen and blast-freeze it fresh.

HOW SPICY IS IT?
Medium and family-friendly. There is warmth and fragrance from the spices, with a gentle kick rather than a fierce one. For more heat, serve a green chilli chutney on the side.

A COMPLETE MEAL FOR TWO
One box of this chicken biryani serves two as a meal on its own. Add a raita to cool it and a naan alongside, and you have dinner without a second pan in sight. It is the easiest way to put a proper biryani on the table on a weeknight.

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN BIRYANI FROM FROZEN
Straight from frozen: microwave for 4 to 5 minutes, or 30 minutes in the oven or air fryer. Fork it through before serving so the grains separate. Ready in the time it takes to lay the table.

WHAT'S IN IT (AND ALLERGENS)
Basmati rice, boneless chicken, onion, yoghurt, saffron and freshly ground whole spices. We cook in a kitchen that handles gluten, nuts and dairy, so check the label if you have a serious allergy. No preservatives.

WHY BUY YOUR BIRYANI FROM US
Whether you search for chicken biryani or chicken biriyani, this is the one worth buying: an award-winning, restaurant-quality biryani, handmade in Surrey and delivered frozen across the UK. Eleven Great Taste Awards and more than 520 five-star reviews back it up. Order your chicken biryani today and keep a proper dum biryani in the freezer for the nights a takeaway won't do. One pan, two plates, and enough here to feel like a treat rather than a sad weeknight dinner.

Good questions

Before your first order

What is chicken biryani?

A layered rice dish of fragrant basmati and spiced chicken slow-cooked "dum" style (sealed and steamed) so the rice absorbs the spices.

Is Mandira's chicken biryani spicy?

No - it's a gentle medium, a family-friendly warmth rather than fiery.

How do I cook it from frozen?

Microwave from frozen 4-5 min, or 30 min in the oven/air fryer; fork through before serving.

What goes with chicken biryani?

Serve with raita, a fresh naan or a vegetable side; it's a complete meal for two on its own.
