Microwave Biriyani
This takes me 15 minutes to have from cupboard to table and tastes as good as the takeaway. Timings are given for my microwave which has a hand crank on the side an glows an alarming green colour when it goes so adjust the times for non posessed appliances.
Steps
Put rice , raisins and veg in a large microwaveable bowl.
Pour the water over and crumble in the stock cube and curry paste , stir well and cover with cling film leaving a gap at one side to let steam escape.
Microwave at full power for 12 mins add more time if your microwave is less powerful.
Take out and leave to stand while you get out plates and forks , fluff the rice and serve sprinkled with the nuts.
Ingredients
basmati rice, frozen mixed vegetables, raisins, vegetable stock cube, curry paste, salted cashews, boiling water
