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.

Here’s the 6 best BBQ Rubs to have in your kit!

Aussie All Rounder

The beauty of Taipan’s Aussie All-Rounder is that it goes with all types of red meat on the grill, barbecue, in the smoker or oven. You’ll enjoy your meat with the salty-sweet and a little heat.

This is a great rub for brisket, apply your binder and then generously coat with Aussie All-Rounder prior to cooking in the smoker.

Tip:  Slow Cooker Brisket – Rub with generously with your rub and cook on high for 8 hours to give you a good shredded meat for tacos, sandwiches, burrito bowls or pasta.  6 hours cooking time will give you tender beefy slices for a roast dinner.

Brazilian Barbecue Pork Rub

Taipan BBQ’s Brazilian Barbecue is a very popular rub that’s ideal for low’n’slow, particularly pork.  Use as a seasoning or rub for chicken, that’s a winner too!

Paprika brings a sweet pepper flavour and with the addition of other aromatic herbs and spices including pepper, garlic, and onion, finished with a final layer of ginger and mustard really pulls this flavour combo together for a perfect pork rub.  (try a slow cooked pork shoulder for pulled pork, 8 hours on high will give you the best result)

Portuguese Peri Peri Barbecue Rub

Peri Peri is Portugal’s favourite choice for fast food: an entire chicken butterflied open and served alongside a halo of homemade French fries and pillows of rice. Each mouth-watering bite infuses the palate with juices from the meat and spices. Use this amazing Taipan BBQ rub directly on your chicken or make up a marinade with olive oil, garlic, lemon & wine.

Mongolian Mint

Rosemary, Mint and Garlic are the classic seasonings for lamb, with good reason. Taipan BBQ has combined these, with some other exotic spices to create a flavour all its own. You will love this blend on your lamb roast or cutlets. It’s the perfect combination for the perfect family meal.

SPG Salt, Pepper, Garlic

SPG is one of the most popular all-purpose seasonings for any kind of grilling, roasting or everyday stove top cooking, a flavour that punches way above its weight.

This combination of flake and granule sizes are perfectly suited to use on generous cuts of meat for low’n’slow and high heat grilling. Seasons well without sacrificing on the natural flavour of the meat, let it shine!

Use on all meats including chicken, fish and veggies, even add it to your spaghetti or chilli.  Especially phenomenal to use on brisket, wings, ribs and sandwiches.

East Coast Buffalo Crystals 

Just sprinkle Taipan BBQ’s East Coast Buffalo Crystals directly onto your wings, to taste, right after baking or frying.

To create a Buffalo-style Wing Sauce, simply mix equal parts of Buffalo Crystals with White Vinegar and melted butter, then mix to create a delicious sauce and toss your cooked wings through, coating fully.

Serve with Blue Cheese or Ranch dressing – Enjoy!

 

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.
