The Secret Behind Our Lamb Biryani

Our lamb biryani is the most ordered dish at Spice Route Kitchen, and it takes almost four hours to make.

We start by marinating lamb overnight in yoghurt, ginger, garlic and our house biryani masala, a blend of 14 whole spices that we roast and grind every week. The meat is then slow-cooked until tender before being layered with par-boiled aged basmati rice, saffron milk, fried onions, mint and coriander.

Finally the pot is sealed and cooked on dum, gentle steam, so the rice absorbs every bit of flavour. Served with cucumber raita and salad, it is comfort food at its best.
