Mix it well and fry it for a while, until the aroma of the rice comes out and the rice seems to be fried well.

Chicken pulao Chicken pulao
Chicken Pulao is a popular Pakistani dish made with chicken, aromatic spices, and fragrant Basmati rice. Pulao is known for its rich, aromatic flavours and tender chicken cooked in a flavorful broth called "yakhni," which is then mixed with Basmati rice. It can be a one-pot meal also. I prefer making it in two steps. Yes, it does take around twenty-five minutes more. However, given how much flavour the broth infuses into every bite, that is a minor price to pay.This recipe goes perfect with some raita, Iserved it with simple cumin raita. You can enjoy with any raita of choice. You will need a handful of ingredients to make this pulao and it comes together in less than an hour.
