This dish blends the creaminess of Italian risotto with the bold warmth of biryani spices. The mushrooms give it depth, the cashews add richness, and the slow addition of stock creates that classic silky texture. It’s ideal for anyone who loves layered flavours but prefers a single-pot method that still feels special.
