Preparation:

 Marinate the chicken pieces with the ingredients mentioned under marination.

Wash and soak the basmati rice in enough water for 20-30 minutes.

Heat a heavy bottom non-stick pan with ghee, oil and add shah jeera along with cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaves and cardamom pods.

Next add the sliced onions, green chillies and sauté them till onions change its colour.

Then add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes. Next, add chopped tomatoes and cook until tomatoes are mushed.

ADDING CHICKEN MARINATION

Add the marinated chicken pieces along with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt and sauté for few minutes on high flame.

Drain the water from the rice, and add to the chicken pieces. Mix well.

Then add 4 ½ cups of water and check seasoning. Add coriander leaves and mix well.

Cover the saucepan and cook on a low – medium flame for 20 – 25 minutes or until the rice and chicken is cooked. Here for me, it took exactly 20 minutes.

Once cooking time is done. switch off the flame. Keep the pan aside.

Leave the pan like that for some time without disturbing it.

Then fluff the chicken Pulao lightly with the spoon and transfer into a serving plate and enjoy tasty and delicious Easy chicken pulao with chicken curry or raita.

Note:

If you don’t have time means you can skip the marination process.
