To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. Pierce the film on the rice tray and microwave according to the instructions on the packaging, typically for a few minutes until heated through. The lamb pasanda tray also needs to be heated, usually in the microwave or sometimes in the oven for a slightly different texture. Ensure both components are piping hot before serving. You can serve it directly from the trays or plate it for a more formal presentation. It is ready to be enjoyed as a complete meal.
