This curry is a beautiful dish to serve at a buffet style party. Whilst being tasty it also presents well and is easy for guests to serve themselves.

Traditionally this is a muslim curry from the capital of Hyderabad in the province of Andhra Pradesh. It is different to a pulao, in that is not just an Indian style fried rice, it is a layered dish of basmati rice and curry.

When presented on a platter with a side dish of raita and some Indian chutney, it makes a yummy addition to any dinner or party.

The first layer is made up of basmati rice topped with curried chicken or lamb pieces, this is then garnished with fried onions, sliced hard boiled eggs and tomatoes, followed again by another layer of basmati rice. To finish it off, it is decadently garnished with fried nuts and raisins.

Historically, the Nizams of the Hyderabad state where responsible for the development of the Hyderabadi cuisine. It was derived from the royalty banquets and festivals, where they would commonly serve up to 26 varieties of biryani’s for their guests. Originally the biryani dish is an amalgamation of Mughlai, Turkish and Arabic cuisine, along with the influence of the native Telugu and Marathwada cuisines.

Traditionally, the biryani is cooked in a Dum pukht. This means, that the dish is cooked in a pot that is sealed with dough, then simmered gently over a slow cooking fire to increase the absorption of aromatic spices. Firstly, the mutton or chicken is sealed with all the spices on a hot fire. To put it all together, and finish off the cooking process, the biryani is layered in the Dum pukht. Rice on the bottom then topped with the sealed meat, then rice again. Saffron that has been soaked in water (the aromatic water) is drizzled over the top to add moisture; the pot is sealed then slow cooked over a fire.

This 250g jar will cook with approximately 15kg of meat, vegetables or seafood – 75 servings.

White Magic BBQ Sauce Medium (250ml)

Different from any other BBQ sauce, this White Magic BBQ Sauce uses mayo as its base, along with vinegar, sugar and spices. A USA southern favourite!

Alabama White BBQ Sauce was created by Robert Gibson at Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama in 1925 for their famous smoked chicken. At Big Bob’s BBQ joint, they dunk smoked chicken into vats of the sauce before serving. The sauce clings to the meat, offering up a tanginess and rich flavour you won’t get with any other BBQ sauce.

Its tangy peppery taste goes well with poultry, pork, seafood, and wild game and is made to dunk, drizzle, and slather all over smoked chicken for a classic Alabama BBQ experience.

The mad saucier here has taken this classic recipe and “Cobrafied” it by tweaking a few ingredients and adding the amazing Yellow Scotch Bonnet Chilli for a little extra smooth punch. Enjoy!
