Why Cookd Wedding Bhai Biryani Kit - Ready to Cook scores EA3

Energy
295 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 5.8 g per 100 g, and most of it comes from the basmati rice, so it earns little credit. Fibre is 2.08 g per 100 g, or 3.51 g in a serve.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. The kit is mostly rice carbohydrate, which is why nutrition lands at the bottom before any meat or vegetables go in.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

The list is short and made of recognisable foods: basmati rice, onion, tomato, sunflower oil, ginger, garlic, curd, chilli, herbs and spices. The paste gives percentages for onion and tomato only, and no hollow label promise was found.

The one cost is mono and diglycerides of fatty acid (471), an emulsifier in the seasoning oil, which costs ingredient points.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Saturated fat

03 Load risk: why 3

Sodium is almost the whole of the risk number: 932 mg per 100 g, and 1,568 mg in a 168.33 g serve. That is what puts risk at a 3.

Saturated fat is 1.73 g per 100 g and energy is 295 kcal per 100 g, so both add a little. Added sugar is 0.01 g and trans fat is 0 g, so they play no part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High sodium (931.7mg per 100g)

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

Does Cookd Wedding Bhai Biryani Kit - Ready to Cook live up to its claims?

The claims about colours, flavours, preservatives and palm oil all hold against the ingredient list. The 1.3 kg yield depends on the water and meat or vegetables you add.

  • “All-in-1 Kit”

    Holds

    Basmati rice, masala paste and seasoning oil are all in the pack, so only meat or vegetables are left to add.

  • On the pack

    “No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives”

    Holds

    No colour, flavour or preservative is listed. The seasoning oil uses spice extracts, and the only additive is the emulsifier 471.

  • On the pack

    “No Palm Oil”

    Holds

    The fat in both the paste and the seasoning oil is refined sunflower oil.

  • On the pack

    “Serves 3”

    Holds

    The panel counts three servings of 168.33 g from a 505 g kit. Each serve already has 497 kcal before meat or vegetables.

  • On the pack

    “Makes 1.3 kg of Biryani”

    Be careful

    The kit weighs 505 g, so the 1.3 kg finished weight comes from cooking water and whatever meat or vegetables you add.

What's in Cookd Wedding Bhai Biryani Kit - Ready to Cook?

Onion and tomato lead the masala paste, and the rice is plain basmati. The only additive is one emulsifier in the seasoning oil.

How we rate additives →

15 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

The masala paste comes first and is led by onion (24%) and tomato (23%), then refined sunflower oil, ginger, garlic, water and curd. Iodised salt, green chilli, coriander, mint and whole spices (chilli, cinnamon, cardamom, clove) finish it. Only onion and tomato carry a percentage.

The seasoning oil is spice extracts in refined sunflower oil, with an emulsifier to keep it blended. The rice is plain basmati, and its share of the kit is not declared.

The label numbers, read for you

Sodium is the number that decides the score: 932 mg per 100 g, and 1,568 mg in one 168.33 g serve. The salt sits in the masala paste, so the kit uses a lot of it in a single meal.

Energy is 295 kcal per 100 g, or 497 kcal a serve. Protein is modest at 5.8 g per 100 g (9.76 g a serve), fibre is 3.51 g a serve, and fat is 15.45 g a serve, of which saturated fat is 2.90 g. Added sugar is 0.01 g, and no vitamins or minerals are declared.

Ingredients to watch

  • Mono and diglycerides of fatty acid (471)Fine

    An emulsifier that keeps the oil and spice extracts in the seasoning sachet blended and smooth. It costs ingredient points.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • The share of rice in the kit is not declared, and only onion and tomato have percentages in the paste.

What to know about Cookd Wedding Bhai Biryani Kit - Ready to Cook

A complete biryani kit that leans on salt

Cookd Wedding Bhai Biryani Kit is a 505 g all-in-one pack with three parts: basmati rice, a masala paste and a small sachet of seasoning oil. The paste is built on onion (24%) and tomato (23%), with refined sunflower oil, ginger, garlic, curd, iodised salt, green chilli, coriander, mint and whole spices. It is sold to people who want a wedding-style biryani in about 20 minutes without measuring rice and spices, and it is meant to be finished with meat or vegetables.

The pack counts three servings of 168.33 g, and each serve of the kit gives 497 kcal, 9.76 g protein, 3.51 g fibre, 15.45 g fat and 1,568 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 295 kcal and 932 mg sodium. Added sugar is 0.01 g. The figures are for the kit itself, so the meat or vegetables you add will change the plate.

The front says no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and no palm oil, and the ingredient list agrees with each of them. The one thing it does not say is how much salt is in the paste. CleanPlate scores it EA3.
