Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add your meat-free chick'n and cook for 4-5 min or until crispy, then transfer to a plate and set aside until later
Peel and dice your brown onion[s]
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the diced onion, your curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper
Cook for 2 min or until the onion is starting to soften
Meanwhile, trim, then cut your green beans in half
Once the onion has started to soften, add your vegetable stock mix and tomato paste to the pan and cook for 2 min further or until fragrant
Tip: Add a drizzle of oil if the pan looks a little dry
Once fragrant, add your basmati rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains in spice and oil
Add 350ml [525ml] [700ml] cold water to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, add the halved green beans and your sultanas
Give everything a good mix, then reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for an initial 8 min
After an initial 8 min, add the crispy meat-free chick'n and cook, covered, for 2 min further or until the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Tip: Add a little water if the rice is not cooked or the mixture is a little dry
Once done, taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed – this is your one pot easy meat-free chick'n biryani
Serve the one pot easy meat-free chick'n biryani with a dollop of your natural yoghurt over the top
