We had this last night as vegetable biryani to serve with chicken tikka and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I did find there was way too much rice and ended up taking out about 1/3 before combining with the other ingredients. DH and DS both loved it and DD heated some up when she got home and thought it was Indian fried rice. We enjoyed it so much we are keen to make the chicken version as a main, but I'll halve the rice and leave all the other ingredients the same and I'm sure it would still be plenty for the 4 of us.
