Urban Eats Chicken Biryani

What is it?

Basmati rice cooked with cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and turmeric forms the centre of this frozen meal, with chicken pieces mixed through. Grain carries the spice and aroma, while the chicken plays a supporting role rather than leading the dish. Packed as part of Aldi's Urban Eats range, it's a rice-first take on the Indian biryani style rather than a saucy curry. The one-pot format means the rice and chicken are cooked together, then frozen for reheating at home. Microwave from frozen and the spiced rice comes back fragrant and ready to eat.
