Chicken Biryani

I am reminded today why I try not to do any shopping above the necessary on a Saturday as to get half a dozen items from the supermarket costs me half an hour. Arriving home a little annoyed my bare knuckles smarting a little from the biting wind, I put together a simple Chicken Biryani to warm from the inside out; quite a change from most days this week, how fickle the mood of an English Spring. Despite a childhood hatred of peas, I respect them in this context where they provide pockets of sweet relief against the spicy hotness of the chicken and rice.
