I am so glad I found this brand as every flavour I have tried so far has been a taste sensation. I tried this Biryani tonight and it was the best one ever. I am no masterchef and have stuffed up every other biryani I have ever tried to make. This one was so simple to make that no one could get it wrong and the taste is divine. Keep up the great work Curry Tree staff, your expertise is being appreciated all the way over here in Australia! I cant wait to try the rest of the flavours.
