Updated at: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:21:57 GMT

Step 1

Make the biryani; finely slice the onions. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add half the onions, garlic paste, ginger paste, raisins, whole tomatoes, cashews, chicken and two-thirds of the tikka paste to the pan. Cook for 6-8 mins, until softening.

Step 2

Make the caramelised onions; heat a medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the remaining onions, remaining tikka paste and half the honey to the pan. Cook for 8-10 mins, until soft and jammy.

Step 3

Add the rice and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) to the chicken frying pan. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for another 2-3 mins, until the chicken is cooked.

Step 4

Roughly chop the coriander. Stir it into the rice along with the peas in the final minute of cooking. Season with sea salt to taste.

Step 5

Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear. Cook for longer if necessary.

Step 6

Serve the biryani topped with the caramelised onion.
