Famously described as the Hyderabadi Pulao. It's a Yogurt based Rice preparation with either Chicken or Lamb meat with Tomatoes, Potatoes and the spices. It's loved by all for it's taste and tangy flavour. Made on almost every little occasion or especially during the weekends and the family reunions. Locked in with subtle flavours, it goes very well with Raita and Green Salad. Though these are just an optional, because it is best tasted on it's own, there is practically no need of any accompaniment whatsoever. This Hyderabadi flavoursome Rice is sure to tickle your taste buds and make you fall in love with it.

Steps

45 minutes

1

First of all, soak rice in enough water for about 30 minutes. In a non-stick pot, heat oil and add whole spices at first. Fry for a minute and then saute the onions until light pink.
2

Add the rest of the spices including the salt one by one along with the chicken now.
3

Saute the chicken for a while, then add the ripe chopped tomatoes along with the beaten curd. Keep the flame on a low for 5 minutes. In this way the yogurt will not curdle.
4

Cover and simmer until done. As it is the chicken used here, it hardly takes much time. It will be done in 15 to 20 minutes on a medium flame.
5

Alternatively fry the peeled and cut potatoes until light golden. This gives a distinct flavour to the dish. Add water to the pot now as per the need. You add water according to the rice taken. Let it boil vigorously on a high heat or you can also add hot water to speed up the process alternatively.
6

Also add these fried potatoes to the pot after the water boils. Now add rice and adjust salt at this stage accordingly. Mix well with light hands. Do not be harsh on it. Other the rice grains tend to break. Cover and simmer on a medium to low flame until done.
7

The quantity of the water varies according to the variety of the rice. So be careful. More water can make the rice mushy. Keep mixing the rice and the chicken well in between but very carefully, without applying much force.
8

Mixing here is important because the rice gets a uniform colour and looks beautiful. If necessary you can add more water accordingly.
9

Serve it hot as it is because it's a complete meal in itself. No need of any accompaniment. If desired can serve with raita of your choice.

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.
