This is a layered rice dish, (think Lasagna), where you set up the parts seperately and afterward gather it into one spot when you are prepared to eat. It has cumin implanted rice at the base, ladden with a thick dry flavorful chicken curry, finished off with firm hot potato lumps and spices, with a decent free yogurt sauce to add the last shower.

ooking Directions And Notes
Layer 1 – Pulao Rice
The rice are cooked genuinely like customary pulao. For an inside and out pulao-ability, visit the matar pulao recipe. Generally this is really clear.
Oil and entire flavors go in the pot, alongside garlic ginger glue. Saute saute, and afterward add rice, salt and water.

(Here, you mark the handle of your wooden spoon at 1/2 an inch imprint and supplement it in your water to contact the rice, while water level contacts the 1/2 inch mark)
Allow the rice to cook for 5 to 6 mins, and afterward decrease the fire to low, and let it steam for one more 5 to 6 mins. Utilize a fork to cushion up the rice! Also, they are prepared!
Layer 2 – Chicken Curry
For the curry planning, you just have to make the curry glue. Put all the curry fixings in a blender to make glue and begin cooking.
NOTE: The curry glue involves green chilies as a fixing moreover. It doesn’t make the recipe extremely zesty or anything, yet in the event that your flavor resilience level is low, than you ought to skip it.
In a medium pot, add oil, chicken, garlic glue and flavors and just pan fried food the chicken at high fire. This assists with disposing of all the water from the chicken and temper the flavors to take the “crudeness” out of it.
Then feel free to add the curry glue alongside some water. Allow the curry to cook for 5 to 8 mins or until you see oil seperating on the sides of the pot.
NOTE: This curry will be towards the drier side, so ought not be too liquidy. Dry out any abundance water on the off chance that its excessively runny.
Layer 3 – Fixings
Presently for the tomfoolery part. The fixings incorporate broiler cooked fiery potatoes, cleaved tomato and slashed cilantro/coriander for embellish.
The fixings are totally open to your own decisions and taste. Since this is “Shahi Pulao”, you can likewise add simmered nuts and raisins as a garnish as well, or truly get inventive and add cooked flax seeds, pumpkin seeds or broiled chickpeas as well! I kept it genuinely straightforward so that its available to your own understanding! Go off the deep end!
I standard bubble potatoes with salt and vinegar which diminishes the baking/cooking time extensively.
You can cook these potatoes any of the accompanying ways
Profound fry or shallow fry them on barbecue dish on the oven.
Air fry them in an airfryer.
Stove prepare/cook them with the oven on for that decent brilliant variety.
HACK: As an easy route, you could utilize frozen potato children, wedges or some other type of frozen potatoes from the supermarket and basically profound fry/air fry/broiler heat them at home
Once finished, I just sprinkle chaat masala all around my potatoes to give them a pleasant kick. In the event that you don’t have any chaat masala within reach, just season with dark pepper and red stew drops.
Layer 4 – Sauce
The sauce just expect that you stir up every one of the fixings, that is all there is to it!
The sauce amount referenced in the recipe is to give you adequate measure of sauce. Some for sprinkle over and some to serve as an afterthought. In the event that you are not excessively excited about sauces, lessen the amount to half.
HACK: Assuming you have any farm dressing or garlic mayo at home, utilize that as the sauce. ( Really a languid young ladies hack my companions)
Gathering the Shahi Pulao
Gathering the pulao is really direct, you layer the dish first with rice, than the curry, the fixings lastly the sauce. I as a rule serve the left over sauce as an afterthought incase anybody needs extra.
Master Tips and notes
I typically make Singaporean Rice and Shahi chicken pulao with left over pulao rice. Makes for amazing layering and less work
You can likewise utilize boxed flavor masala blend to make the essential chicken curry masala
Utilize a more extensive platter to feature the gathered dish delightfully.
Assuming that you feel like you’ve screwed up any of the layers by adding excessively or too little flavoring or flavors, you can definitely relax. Remunerate by decreasing or adding flavors in different layers to adjust the general taste.
Could I at any point avoid the toppinngs or the sauce from the recipe?
I mean I wouldn’t suggest it, yet lets say you are in a rush and need a fast success, sure! Use garlic mayo as sauce and potato toddlers as fixings.
Could I at any point make the pulao with hamburger or lamb?
Boneless meat and sheep both can be utilized for this recipe. Nonetheless, they take more time to cook. Subsequent to sauteeing the hamburger/lamb in flavors, you should add 2 cups of water and allowed the meat to cook for atleast 20 mins before you can add the curry glue.
How to store the pulao?
Once the pulao has been doled out, essentially keep it as is in the ice chest to have later. The main thing disadvantage is your potatoes will lose their firmness.
Consider the possibility that I am left with one or 2 of the layers.
The estimations given are spot on, and on the off chance that you layer it right, you ought not be left with something besides a little sauce, which you can utilize later to make wraps, mixed greens or as a plunge for broiled food!
