Thai-Muslim Biryani
The Thai-Muslim version of a biryani ‘khao mok gai’ translates as ‘rice bury chicken’ because the chicken is buried in the rice whilst they cook together in fragrant coconut milk. The dish is flavoured with fragrant Thai herbs including lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal and Indian-influenced curry powder, then served topped with crispy fried shallots with a delicious fresh mint nam prik on the side.

I have bought 3more of these and have given one to a friend! It’s so delicious and was such a treat to eat. Don’t be scared off if you taste the nam prik on its own as it works perfectly with the main dish. Definitely one to try!
