Notes
- Preferred to use chicken with bones as it makes tasty stock to cook rice.
- Marinate chicken for a longer time will make the chicken tastier.
- Always use tomatoes without skin.
- Use Pakistani basmati rice to get the best result.
- Soak the rice before 10 minutes of cooking.
- Never soak the rice for too long (If you are using premium quality basmati).
- Avoid steaming tahari for a long time as it makes the rice mushy.
- Don't take out rice right after steaming. Give it 10 to 15 minutes to settle down.
- After 15 minutes of steaming, gently and carefully run the spoon in rice to separate rice otherwise the rice will clutter.
