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.

Origin: India
Licorice root is a plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat various ailments, including sore throat, cough, and digestive issues. Licorice root is known for its sweet taste and is often used as a flavouring in candy, beverages, and tobacco products.
Licorice root is typically dried by first washing and peeling the root, then cutting it into small pieces and laying them out in a well-ventilated area to air dry for several days. Some methods involve using a dehydrator or oven set to a low temperature to speed up the drying process. The dried licorice root can then be stored in an airtight container for later use.
Ghee is unsalted butter that’s been gently caramelised and transformed into a fat with a high smoking point. Ghee tastes like butter but with a slightly roasted, nutty background note and is commonly used in Indian cuisine.
This is a Tandoori spice blend that is made into a marinade with some yoghurt, oil, lemon juice, ginger and garlic paste, and pinch of salt.
Marinate some chicken and BBQ or cook under the grill. Excellent served with rice, Naan bread, raita, chutney and kachumbar (Indian salad).
Caraway Seed (Shahi Jeera) Whole brings a distinct, slightly sweet flavour to dishes. Used whole in rye bread, sauerkraut, and as a pickling spice, it’s essential for adding depth and complexity.
Poppy Seed (Khus Khus) White are tiny, creamy seeds with a mild, nutty flavour. Perfect for adding a subtle crunch to breads, cakes, and pastries, they’re also great for thickening sauces and dressings.
Salt, Pepper and Garlic, blended the Kumari way for a flavour that punches way above its weight. Use it as a steak or rib rub, on wings, or for jazzing up burgers and fries. Simply sprinkle on, or rub into, your meal of choice. It’s phenomenal on beef, brisket, wings, ribs, chicken, pork, calamari or salmon. It’s also the perfect blend for adding spice and flavour to potatoes and vegetables.
