Easy Tips
- Brown onion in yogurt paste makes a big difference in this recipe to get the fusion taste of pulao and biryani. Make sure the brown onion is freshly fried and crispy before adding in yogurt. You can also crush the crispy onion with your hands in yogurt.
- When the oil seperates and water evaporates after tendering the chicken then the curry will be ready to add in rice.
- Make sure to soak the rice before 30 minutes. Never soak for long time otherwise it will be mushy in texture.
- To get the best result, use basmati or jasmine rice as it makes a perfect flavor.
- Never steam the rice for too long.
- Right after steaming, avoid to run the spoon in pan. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to get settled.
