Indian food "Biryani" has been gaining popularity for the past few years. It is a mixed rice using spices, and it is a menu that is eaten at weddings and other celebrations in India.

I've come to see mixed rice ingredients on the market, but I can't reproduce the taste of the restaurant because the rice is different! When I was giving up thinking that I couldn't eat authentic biryani at home, I found a retort pouch at Seijo Ishii. The product name is "Gits Veggie Biryani".


Elongated rice in the package photo. The country of origin is India. This can be expected ...! The price is a little high at 599 yen (excluding tax), but it contains plenty of 265g (9.35oz). I decided to give it a try.

Gits Veggie Biryani

Warm in a microwave or water bath. In the case of a microwave oven, transfer it to a heat-resistant dish, wrap it, and boil it at 500 W for 4 minutes. In the case of a water bath, boil it in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes to heat it.



After warming, lightly mix the sauce and rice to complete.


Biryani gives off a complex scent that is a mixture of many spices. The texture of rice, which has a smooth texture and is moist but has little stickiness, is different from the well-known “rice”. The more you chew, the richer the aroma and the gorgeous spiciness spread, and you can't stop carrying the spoon! I thought it would be reasonable for two people to share it, but even one person can eat it at all.


The ingredients are potatoes, onions, and green peas. The potatoes have a sticky texture and go well with the smooth rice. The refreshingness of the green peas is also a nice accent.


Retort biryani that you can enjoy the authentic taste like a shop and it is enough as a main dish. This is a dish that Indian food lovers should definitely try!
