Step 1) Marinating the chicken:
In a mixing bowl add the cleaned chicken pieces and add yogurt, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder. Mix well and coat the chicken pieces well with the masala. Marinate for 20 - 30 minutes.
Step 2) Whole Spices:
In a heavy bottom pan melt ghee and oil (ghee imparts nice flavor and taste to the recipe).Then add the whole spices - bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, cloves and pepper corns. Mix it once and then add green chilies and sliced onions.
Step 3)
Once the onions turns golden add chopped tomato and cook for few minuted until soft. Then add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Step 4)
Once the chicken is half done add the soaked basmati rice (rinse the rice in water for 3 times and soak for 20 - 30 minutes, drain the water completely before adding the rice) . Mix it well with the chicken pieces .
Step 5) Water:
The ratio of rice to water is 1:1.5 so for 2 cups of rice we will need 3 cups of water. Also add required salt, mint leaves and coriander leaves mix it once . Cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed by the rice or until the chicken and rice are fully cooked.
If you are using a pressure cooked then cook for 1 whistle on a medium heat.
Step 6) Chicken Pulao:
Once the rice is fully cooked and you start to smell the nice aroma of the pulao turn off the heat and gently and slowly with a flat spoon fluff the rice.
