The vegetarian biryani is not an afterthought, and at most gatherings it is the dish that empties first. Basmati layered with vegetables and whole spices, saffron through the rice, cooked the same way as the chicken and given the same attention.

It solves the problem every host has. One substantial dish vegetarians can eat without being handed a side salad and an apology.

Made to order in catering quantities. Serve it alongside the chicken biryani or on its own with raita and pickle.
