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 Pulao, Fragrant Vegetable Rice for the Table

Our vegetable pulao is fragrant vegetable rice done the simple, good way. We cook long-grain basmati with peas, carrots and whole spices like clove and cardamom, so every grain stays separate and gently perfumed. It is the vegetable rice you want under a curry or beside a dal, made by hand in our converted cowshed and happily vegan.

PULAO OR BIRYANI
People often ask the difference. A pulao is a lighter, one-pot rice cooked together, where a biryani is layered and steamed with more spice. This vegetable pulao is the everyday one, gentle enough to go with anything.

WHAT IS IN IT
Basmati rice, peas, carrots, onion, clove, cardamom and freshly ground 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 so the grains loosen.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH IT
Any curry or dal. This vegetable rice serves two as a side, or four to share across a bigger spread.

WHY BUY OUR VEGETABLE PULAO
A proper fragrant vegetable rice from an award-winning kitchen, made in small batches and delivered across the UK. Keep a box in and dinner is always half-built. Order your vegetable pulao today.
