Chicken Biryani (Andhra Pradesh) Masala Medium (240g)

$22

46 in stock

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.

Sri Lanka Beef Curry Masala Mild (1kg)

This Sri Lankan Beef Curry is traditionally quite hot but we decided to take out all the chilli and make it quite mild – a family favourite.

This allows you to add your own chilli powder or fresh chilli and increase the heat to what you require to suit the needs.

This curry can be cooked with any meat, seafood or vegetables.

If you would like to change this curry back to its original, traditional heat, when cooking, instead of adding 2 tbsp of the Sri Lanka Beef Curry Masala to 1kg of meat, substitute this with 1 tbsp of chilli powder and 1 tbsp of Sri Lanka Beef Curry Masala.

This 1 kg jar will cook with approximately 40kg of meat, vegetables or seafood – 200 servings.

We also have an alternate, modern version in our recipe section. It’s the one we cook at shows.

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!

Taipan Glazing Chicken and Lamb Pairings

The magic in the box…

Lip smacking Loco Lime and Mongolian Mint Pairing

A fruity minty match, just crying out for a juicy lamb roast or chops.  Giving a new and updated twist to the mint sauce we all remember growing up.

Lamb, being a rich and flavourful meat, pairs well with the bright and refreshing flavours of lime and mint. The acidity of lime helps to cut through the richness of the lamb, while the mint adds a cool and herbaceous note that complements the meat’s natural flavour. The combination of these flavours creates a well-balanced and delicious Sunday roast that is enjoyed by the whole family.

 

Mango Madness and East Coast Buffalo Wing Rub

Mango is such a popular Aussie fruit known for its sweet and tangy flavours. When combined with chicken buffalo wing flavours, the sweetness of the mango helps to balance out the spiciness of the buffalo sauce. Additionally, the acidity in mango can help to cut through the richness of the chicken, creating a well-rounded flavour profile. Overall, the combination of mango and chicken buffalo wing flavours is a delicious and satisfying pairing.

How to use your seasoning/rub and glaze:

Lightly or generously coat your meat with your seasoning/rub. Up to you based on how much flavour you prefer.

When cooking meat, either on the BBQ, in an oven or a smoker, generously pour glaze over uncooked meat in a dish and with clean hands, turn the meat over to ensure that it is liberally coated on all sides.

For the oven and smoker, cover the meat and cook following the usual cooking instructions. Uncover for the last quarter of the cooking time to allow the sauce to reduce and the sweet stickiness to develop. Re-coat now to personal preference, if required.

On the Barbecue, just cook on the plate or over the grill. The glaze will darken and look burned but that’s okay – and awesome.
