Kitchens’ Of India’s Noormahal Biryani: #FirstImpressions

Biryani is one of those dishes that are traditionally rooted with the Indian Subcontinent. In fact, even today, there is no doubt in our mind when we state that it is one of the most beloved cuisines. Ever wonder what would happen if you get a chance to eat a fresh hotel style chicken biryani at the comfort of your home? Well, Kitchens of India is just hoping to achieve that with their new just heat and eat style chicken biryani, however, taking into account the historical significance of a dish such as biryani, it appears to be a tough challenge.

Quick Facts About This Ready-To-Eat Biryani

1. It is prepared by using the authentic recipe, and contains just the right amount of herbs and spices.
2. There are absolutely no added preservatives present.
3. The edible content is kept safe as it is covered with a 4-layered pouch.

Ways To Prepare This Ready-To-Eat Biryani

Though quite easy to prepare, there are three different ways in which you can prepare your biryani:

1. Instead of cutting the pouch, you can immerse it in boiling hot water for over 5 minutes. Then cut open the pack and empty its content into a plate and serve hot.
2. Cut the pouch, empty its content in a wide microwavable dish, and heat it for 1 minute. Take it out, break the chunks of biryani with the back of the spoon, and then again heat it for 2 minutes before serving it hot.
3. The third and the final method involve the cutting of the pouch, and then emptying its content into an already greased frying pan. Break the chunks of biryani using the back of the spoon and heat it for 3-5 minutes.

#FirstImpressions Of Kitchens Of India’s Ready-To-Eat Noormahal Biryani

Packaged ready-to-eat dishes can be something of a bummer and so we weren’t expecting much, until, of course, the biryani began to spread a wonderful aroma in our kitchen. Noormahal Biryani surpasses all expectations when it comes to taste too. The rice is long-grain and wonderfully flavored. The rice does not taste like a separate entity, it tastes very much a part of the biryani. Even fresh biryanis miss this aspect sometimes. The chicken koftas are soft and well cooked. Not chewy, there were 6-7 koftas in our biryani which is adequate for one person. Calorie-wise one packet will have around 400 calories, which is not too much considering how biryanis usually go. At 175 /- for a 250 gm packer, the price too is competitive.

This is a really good-quality gourmet packaged biryani and one that we would recommend to all those who like to dabble in ready-to-eat foods every once in a while.
