This one-pan biryani layers fragrant basmati rice with tender spiced chicken in aromatic garam masala and our garlic-ginger scallion paste. Caramelized shallots and tomato paste build deep flavor, while crispy onions and fresh cilantro add textural contrast. Serve with warm garlic naan for scooping up every savory bite.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallots. Roughly chop cilantro.

Cook Steak
2
  • Pat steak* dry with paper towels; dice into ½-inch pieces. Season with half the curry powder, salt, and pepper (all the curry powder for 4 servings).
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan (large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Reserve pan.

Start Biryani
3
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium heat. Add shallots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add tomato paste; cook until fragrant and darkened, 30-60 seconds.

Finish Biryani
4
  • To pan with shallots, stir in 1¼ cups water, rice, garam masala, garlic-ginger scallion paste, stock concentrates, ½ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (2½ cups water and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Bring to a boil; cover pan and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. TIP: Add a splash of water if mixture seems dry.

  • Turn off heat; stir in steak. Let sit until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

Make Garlic Naan
5
  • While biryani cooks, wrap naan in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. TIP: If you prefer crunchier naan, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake until toasted.

  • Brush naan with garlic herb butter.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Top biryani with crispy fried onions and cilantro.

  • Divide between bowls and serve with garlic naan.
