I love it when Jay cooks dinner, he’s a fabulous cook and always cooks exciting and different things to my regular rotation.

One of my favourites that he cooks is biryani (very closely followed by his delicious dahl and chapatti).

  2. I made this the night I received your email as I had most of the ingredients – and it was delicious. In fact, we finished it off the following night – tonight. My husband, who also loves to cook, is my taster and he suggested some chopped fresh chillies, minus most of the seeds, which was added prior to serving to give it the kick we enjoy. oh, I used brown basmati rice as that was the rice in the cupboard.

    Tonight, we added more ‘kick’/chillii, then added some edamame, fresh coriander and some unsalted peanuts on top.

    Wonderful recipe Clare – we loved it and will make it again. It was so simple.

    Thanks,
    Marion
