Ms Marvel, Kamala eats biryani with her friends. (S01E04, 27 mins 52 seconds)

Biryani, pronounced ‘beery-anee,’ is the paella of Indian food. Traditionally, it’s baked in a clay pot for hours, but our easy chicken one-pot wonder allows you to create this tasty bowlful at speed! Kamala would be proud.

Cooking instructions 20 mins

For 2 people [double for 4]

Step 1

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air. Peel and dice the brown onion[s]. Chop the chicken breast portions into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil over a high heat. Once hot, add the diced onion, curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 min or until starting to soften.

Step 3

Meanwhile, trim and cut the green beans in half.

Step 4

Add the chopped chicken to the pan and cook for 2 min. Sprinkle the chicken stock mix into the pan and add the tomato paste.

Tip: Add a drizzle more oil if the pan looks a little dry

Step 5

Cook for a further 2 min or until the chicken is starting to brown. Stir in the basmati rice.

Step 6

Add 350ml [700ml] cold water to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat. Add the halved green beans and sultanas. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until the water has absorbed and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Tip: Add a splash of water if the rice is not fully cooked or the mixture is looking a little dry

Step 7

Once done, fluff the rice with a fork. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed – this is your chicken biryani. Serve the chicken biryani with a dollop of natural yoghurt on top. Enjoy!
