An amazingly delish combo dish that has both pulao and biryani mixed thus giving rise to a beautiful looking pulao biryani. The taste is also exotic. Both chicken and mutton can be used for this yummy preparation. Makes for a delightful main course meal at any party or get togethers at home. And ofcourse to liven up any festive environment too. When two recipes are combined, one can imagine how tasty it can be.

Happy Feasting!

Steps

50 minutes

1

Add 1 sliced onion, Coriander seeds, Ginger and chopped Garlic to a muslin cloth and tie it up. Add this muslin cloth to a cooking pot with chicken and 6-8 glasses of water.
2

Cook until almost 4 glasses of stock remains in the pot. Meanwhile soak rice for 20 minutes.
3

Now take out muslin cloth and separate chicken and stock. Heat ghee or oil and fry the remaining sliced onions.
4

Fry until they turn pinkish in colour. Now add whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. Next add green chillies, red chilli powder, chopped tomatoes and beaten curd. Saute until done.
5

Now add chicken and mix well. Adjust salt and garam masala. Sprinkle chopped coriander and mint. Set aside this cooked chicken. Squeeze some lemon juice if desired. Bring stock to a rolling boil and then add soaked rice to it. Cook al dente. Add salt to the stock as per taste.
6

Now comes the layering part, arrange the chicken at the bottom followed by rice and finally the saffron on top. Cover and let it be on the gas on a low heat until ready to serve. Serve this amazing dish with raita and onion rings.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
