Delicious Step by Step Home Made Chicken Pulav Recipe

Chicken pulav for all the carnivorous out there!

This recipe may look like a chinese fried rice but it is completely different in taste. It's delicious recipe with different whole spices & flavors. It doesn't taste like chicken biryani as it is less spicy and easy to make.

This is a popular dish in my family that is prepared frequently as it is super easy compared to Biryani! I have learnt this recipe from various cooking YouTube channels and tried to make it as simple as possible. I have mixed and matched the recipe to extract the taste and flavors, which I experienced in chicken pulav served in the restaurants over here. My version of chicken pulav consists of mint aroma and extra punch of green chilies as we enjoy spice in our food. You can add red chili powder if green chilies aren’t available in your kitchen.

If you too love rice dishes like we do - this one surely needs to be made once. It is a unique rice recipe as it is cooked only in chicken stock but you can exclude stock if you wish to and replace it with vegetable stock. So you can understand how healthy this delicious one pot meal is.
