Sometimes you need a quick and easy dinner to feed the troops, and I have the solution! This Lamb Biryani is full of flavour with tender chunks of lamb, pops of sweetness from the raisins and a delicious warming spice.
The onions smell delicious when you cook them- all the butter and spices make my kitchen smell amazing.
Once everything is simmering, you can leave it for twenty minutes to cook and it only uses one pan for everything so there is minimal washing up.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does!

I totally agree. I hate it so much when I have to pull a pan, a pot, a bigger pot, and a skillet to cook one meal. I cook almost nightly, and often I get lazy and reuse the same pot even if I needed a skillet to save on washing dishes. Biryani is amazing and I love lamb...it's my new fave meat!!
