This biryani dish uses a base of rice, tomatoes and jackfruit to create a dish full of flavour, with a spicy kick. This dish is a definite crowd pleaser and should appeal to meat eaters as well as vegans making it the perfect dish for entertaining.

I’ve used Shan’s biryani mix to make it easy, You could make your own spice mix but honestly the store bought mix is just as good and makes there dish much easier to make. I’d usually suggest making everything from scratch but this dish is the exception. I use Shan but there are plenty of other brands that you can use. Just take a look in your local Asian supermarket.
