I know a biryani sounds like a daunting undertaking, but it really doesn’t have to be. For one thing, you cook the chicken a day (or up to a couple of days) in advance, which breaks up the process into manageable tasks. Furthermore, not only will the flavours deepen and mellow overnight, but the chicken will be gorgously tender. On top of which, it leaves you to do no more on the day itself than cook the rice – and for just two minutes! – then layer it up in a pan with the gently reheated chicken and steam it. And the marinade you start the chicken off with is an easy affair that relies predominantly on the punchy Indonesian chilli paste sambal oelek (though other chilli pastes could be substituted) and kecap manis, which is a sweet and treacly soy sauce.
