It is again proof to me, that sometimes it is the simple and uncomplicated things in life that attract the most attention. This easy breyani recipe with its humble beginning in my kitchen features often, not only at MY OWN table but......
it has been on Food24, News24 and in Crush 4 Magazine. Tomorrow morning however, it will make its TV debut on the Expresso Show. I will be cooking with my foodie hero Michael Olivier and I think you will be amazed to see how we are going to pull it off in 5 minutes flat.
So what makes this recipes so unique? Well, if you are interested, this is what I think!
1. People LOVE breyani, I think it must be the one of the most popular Indian recipes
2. It is quick
3. Requires minimum ingredients, delivers maximum taste
4. It is an online recipe that you can print and still go home and make for supper.
Personally I like this easy breyani recipe, because it is light and fresh while "authentic" breyani" can sometimes be heavy and over spiced. ( I have no intention of offending anyone who cooks a good breyani, but let's face it, there are some really bad ones out there!) So without further ado, here is my famous Easy Breyani Recipe...

Congratulations Nina! This is such great news! :) You deserve it!
Ok, to a novice at cooking, should the chicken and lentils be cooked when adding it? What if I don't have tinned lentils?
