Does anyone have a recipe please? Love the one that comes with a biryani where assorted veg are chucked in. No spice or very little as far as I can detect. Love it. Would love an easy biryani recipe too if anyone has one they can recommend.

I like Dishoom’s biryanis. Replace the chicken with sweet potato. https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/recipe/dishooms-classic-chicken-biryani1

Here's a really nice vegetable biriani recipe. It freezes well and you can use any veg.
250 g basmati rice
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
2 cloves of garlic, mashed to a paste with a little salt or use granules
2 green chillies, finely chopped (or use more chilli powder)
1 tsp garam masala
half tsp ground cumin
half tsp turmeric
half tsp chilli powder
100g yoghurt
1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
400g veg such as cauliflower, sweet potato, peas, onion, carrots.green beans.
prepared into chunks.
25g butter, melted
2 tbsp milk, warmed
half teaspoon of turmeric.
vegetable oil, to fry
Soak the rice for an hour and then boil it for 8 minutes.Then drain.
Mix the spices into the yogurt and lemon juice. Then mix in the vegetables.
Put a little oil into a frying pan and gently cook all the yogurt and spice coated veg for about 8 minutes, if they get too dry add a little water.
Put the veg into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Top with the rice.
Mix the melted butter, milk and turmeric and flick this around the top of the rice.
Put on a tight lid (you could use foil) and bake for about half an hour
When it cooked you can add sultanas, crispy onions, almond/cashews5 -

They have their own vegetarian version too as above. Their black dhal, also in the above link, is great too2 -
