The Flavorful Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao Recipe
Loaded with veggies and flavorful chicken, warm spices like cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg and mace and the heat of green chilies this Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao is a delight to the taste buds in every bite!

The Flavorful Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao Recipe

Chicken broth and seasonings are added to give it lots of flavor and moisture. It’s a one-pot meal to prepare and cook in a pot that comes together quickly for a hearty and hot week-night dinner.

There are some Rice Pulao that are overly packed with gorgeous spices flavors, but this isn’t one of those. This Chicken pulao is a medley of rice, chicken, spices, and vegetables. I just add a tiny sprinkle of green onion as a garnish, just to add a little more color when serving. Pairs perfectly with any raita or curry of your choice.

The Flavorful Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao Recipe

What goes in Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao

The ingredients you need to make this Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao are:
- Best rice for pulao – basmati rice is the best for both flavor and fluffiness. Basmati is a type of long grain rice – the longer the grain, the fluffier the rice. It also has a lovely subtle fragrance that really compliments the flavors in this rice pilaf; You can use brown rice as well for this pulao recipe.
- Chicken: The juicy thighs or chicken breast are the ideal meat choices for making pulao. You can use either the boneless pieces or the bone-in ones like leg pieces. I personally, like pulao with boneless chicken pieces.
- Fat – Ideally desi ghee (clarifying butter) is the best choice for making the pulao. I choose the clarified butter (desi ghee) for flavor, but if the aroma and taste of ghee are too over-powering for you, use unsalted butter, coconut oil, or any other cooking oil.
- Flavor Base – sautéed ginger and onion, to add savouriness;
- Pulao Spices – I’ve used a combination of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, mace, bay leaves and cumin in this Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao. It’s reminiscent of traditional Middle Eastern flavors but also a festive combination. Feel free to customize this to your own taste;
- Broth OR water – For extra flavor, I almost always make my pulao with broth. However, water will work just fine as well, though I’d add an extra pinch of each of the spices;
- Vegetables – Use any vegetables you like here. I like using carrot and green peas for a vibrant color, and potatoes because the flavor melds in nicely with the rice. Cabbage and Capsicum also work well but be aware that they provide a sharper pop of flavor. Broccoli would also be great.
- Garnishing – I’ve used green onions in this mix vegetable chicken pulao recipe. I adore both the flavor and fresh green color that green onion bring to this pulao. Fresh Coriander and Mint Leaves are also great!
How to make Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao:

Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao is straight forward to make.
1. Soak the rice for 30 minutes then drain.
2. Sauté onion and whole spices in butter, then add the ginger and chicken along with seasoning. Cook for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and all juices run clear.
3. Then add carrots, green peas and potatoes cook 5-7 minutes or until vegetables crisp-tender then add chicken broth and bring it to boil. Then add rice cover the pot and let it simmer on medium low flame or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. This takes roughly 10 minutes.
4. Now give a dum for a further 15 minutes. Fluff the rice and dish it out.
But here are my tips for how to make the best Pulao every time!
- Soaking Rice or not: Soaking white rice for about half an hour before cooking allows moisture to get to the middle of the kernel. During cooking, the heat transfers quicker to the middle and the rice will be done in about eight minutes, causing less damage to the outside of the kernel. Thus, it’s more evenly cooked, and easier to separate than the non-soaked rice.
- Right liquid to rice ratio – 1 1/2 Cups of liquid to 1 cup of rice will yield perfectly cooked fluffy rice. Adding too much liquid to cook rice always results in a mushy and sticky pulao
- Do not peek while rice is cooking! Escaped heat compromises the cooking of the rice;
- Rest undisturbed – this is the most important step for cooking rice. This is when the rice finishes cooking and becomes fluffy!
What To Serve With Mix Vegetable Chicken Pulao?

This is home-style, hearty chicken pulao with delicious flavors full of spices and aroma. I suggest, serve it hot right after dum (steaming) with zeera raita, or mint raita and kachumber salad for best taste. It would also go really well with my Chicken Shorba– a mild flavored desi style chicken stew with a great combination of Oriental spices.

These noodle bowls are a lightning fast dinner that the whole family is sure to enjoy. They are surprisingly easy to make from scratch, and you don’t need to worry about the questionable sodium ingredients that are listed in the store bought version.

What makes hot and sour Noodles HOT?

The heat in this hot and sour noodles comes from red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce. The noodles has to be on the hotter side. The sourness comes from adding vinegar right at the end. If you add the vinegar in the beginning or towards the middle, the vinegar will evaporate during cooking. Which is why we add the vinegar right at the end.

The tips and serving ideas given after directions will also help you avoid some common mistakes which can ruin the dish.

1. Prepare the ingredients (this is the most time-consuming part of the recipe, but then it goes very quickly):
Chicken: Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes, mix with ginger garlic paste, egg white, Cornflour, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, red pepper and salt to taste. You can cook right away or leave to marinate for 30 minutes to blend flavors.
Vegetables: Chopped ginger and garlic and cut onion, capsicum, and Tomato in ¼ inch cubes and keep aside.

Spice up your next dinner party with this Flavorful Mint Chicken Curry. Simple, Mild yet Flavorful Chicken curry with fresh mint and yogurt to shake up your weeknights! This Flavorful Mint Chicken Curry Recipe is ultra-easy to whip up on a weeknight, and completely customizable with your favorite seasonings. A nice change from the usual red curries, perfect with naan or rice.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Truth be told – the curry and rice thing is probably my favorite type of food. Coriander, Basil, & Mint Leaves are hands down my favorite herbs of all time. If I could have the herb garden of my dreams, I would plant Mint and Basil everywhere!!

While most of the Pakistani dishes that I cook require coriander as garnish, for this dish, the mint herb paste forms the backbone of the sauce. The combination of fresh coriander and mint makes the dish light and fragrant and gently simmering the chicken in the creamy yogurt ensures that you end up with juicy morsels of meat.
Please make sure that you use the tender , young leaves of Mint in this dish – the harder, older leaves will most probably end up making the dish taste bitter.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

This chicken curry bursts with flavors of mint and creamy yogurt and is bound to make you and your guests happy. The spice level of this dish will vary depending on your taste. I used just 2 green chilies and a pinch of cayenne pepper in this curry to make a mild, family-friendly dish. For more heat, you can add a drizzle of red pepper, some of the seeds of the jalapeño, or some crushed green chilies.

This is a quick and simple recipe to prepare using ingredients that I always have on hand. Less is more – focus on the true tastes by using fewer ingredients. Flavorful and very easy to prepare, this recipes will make your weeknight dinners stress-free . Do try it!

Bismillah let’s get started.
First, You will need some boneless chicken. I prefer the breast because you get some super fine chunks out of it. But you can make both curries with bone-in pieces or boneless pieces of chicken. Obviously, boneless chicken will cook faster, and is my choice when I want to cook a quick curry. BUT, a GOOD chicken curry uses bone-in chicken pieces because the bones flavor the gravy/sauce.

In a blender, pour 1/2 cup of yogurt yogurt, 1 small bunch of mint leaves, coriander leaves, green pepper, garlic ginger paste, cumin powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt and squeezed lemon. Blend until well combined and put in the chicken; Cover and let it marinate for 30 minutes to blend flavors.

You can marinade the chicken for a few hours or even overnight. If you really are in a rush, you can even cook the chicken straight away.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Then add the marinated chicken along with the marination. Cook and stir for 10 minutes on medium flame. Then cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until chicken becomes soft .

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Remove the lid and cook on high flame for just few minutes or until sauce is thickened or all water dries up. ( Make sure to not over cook it will ruined the mint taste).

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon, green chili or pepper, if necessary. This Flaovrful Mint Chicken Curry is delicious with anything. We ate it with boiled rice but it is just as good with really soft naan bread.

Let’s take a quick break from dessert and talk about pizza. Thick style homemade pizza crust topped with BBQ sauce, Barbecue flavored Chicken Chunks, onions, capsicum, jalapeno, and tons of cheese. Your soon-to-be favorite pizza!

It’s Cheesy, doughy, crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, loaded, homemade pizza. All you need is 35 minutes and a few fresh ingredients for this Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe.

Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza

What’s your favorite kind? For me, nothing beats my Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza. But this BBQ chicken pizza is in close 2nd place! Sweet BBQ sauce, chicken chunks, red onions, a dash of jalapeno, and tons of cheese.

My version of savory heaven, right here.

Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza

When I make homemade pizza, I like to get the cheese extra melted and bubbly. I love the sides to get a little brown and the bottom to be extra crispy. To obtain all this goodness, I switch my oven to broil for a quick minute as the pizza is finishing up. I suggest you try it! What I don’t suggest you try is walking out of the kitchen to answer your phone, only to come back finding your pizza burnt to a black crisp with the oven still on broil.

Whoops! Yeah, I make mistakes too.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

My love affair with barbecue chicken pizza began long, long ago. The flavors and textures in this pizza are incredible! You have the sweet tang from the BBQ sauce, the meaty chicken, the zesty red onion, fresh green pepper, smoky jalapeno, soft crust, crispy edges, and ultra cheesy mozzarella covering it all. Does anything sound better?

Ditch the delivery guy, you’re eating homemade tonight! It’s easy, cheesy, and fun, especially on the weekends! While you can never go wrong with traditional cheese and pepperoni, give BBQ chicken chunks a chance and you wont be disappointed! You can cook your own chicken and shred it for this recipe, or use a rotisserie chicken, which gives great flavor and cuts the prep time in half! This is the easiest recipe and tastes super delicious!

Bismillah let’s get started.

First, get your oven heated up to Gas Mark 180 degrees C. Then, grab some pizza dough. You can use a ready made pizza base which would make dinner appear a lot faster. I used one batch of my Fresh Pizza Dough.

Place it onto a floured surface. And, roll and shape the dough into a 9-inch triangle. Roll out to fit your pizza tray. Next, You need barbecue sauce. Use shop bought or make it homemade which I did using this Homemade Barbecue Sauce recipe. It’s really easy and uses ingredients that I bet you already have in the cupboard. Now, grab the rest of your ingredients. Top with chicken chunks and play with your favorite toppings.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Finally, take some Grated Mozzarella. And, then the jalapeno slices.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Place the pizza into the hot oven to bake .. for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Slice and serve immediately! Try not to burn yourself when eating!

Btw, feel free to add anything else to the pizza that you like.

Flower Shaped Buns Recipe with Step by Step Pictures
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Baking is an assortment of pure love, garnished with utmost care into a culmination of all the good things that life has to offer. These gorgeous Flower Shaped Buns are truly spectacular, and they taste just as amazing as they look!

Warm, freshly baked Buns tastes very good with chicken filling.

The Flower Shaped Buns. So elusive. So Cute. So majestic. So eye-catching

How do you make them? Is there too hard to shape? Is there a complicated technique? Is it wizardry?

Just a few of the thoughts I had before attempting these beauties. However, I’m elated to report that if you can master my Vegetable Stuffed Buns & Baby Chicken Bread (and you totally can), you can master the Flower Shaped Buns, too!

These flower shaped buns are simple to make and cute to look at.

Flower Shaped Buns

It all starts with a simple dough that rises in 1 hour. To keep things a little on the healthier side, I went with a 2:1 mix of unbleached all purpose and whole wheat pastry flour for slightly-hearty-but-still-decadent buns.

You could also go entirely all-purpose for true bakery style, all whole-wheat pastry for a healthier buns, or some other combination that I haven’t thought of!

So how are these simple? I’m glad you asked.

13 ingredients including seasonings (sesame seeds being the 14th and optional ingredient)
One true rise = less waiting
Fool-proof methods
No fancy techniques or equipment involved

See? You can totally do this. Believe it.

So what do these studs taste like? Amazing. They’re

Soft
Tender
Fluffy
Perfectly spiced
Loaded with creamy chicken filling
& Better with each bite

Give it a try and You have bakery-worthy stuffed buns that will mystify your friends and family as to how you made them. Go you.

Bismisllah Let’s Get This Started !

Ingredients You will Need:
For Buns Dough
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoon milk powder
- 1/2 cup water (might use less)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups boiled chicken, shredded
- 1 large red onion, finel chopped
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili, crushed
- 4 tablespoon coriander leaves
- 4 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 cup milk
For Assembling Buns
- white & black sesame seeds, as required
- 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tsp milk, for brushing the buns before baking
How to Make Flower Shaped Buns:

Step 1: Sieve the flour and dry milk powder in a large mixing bowl. Make three holes in the flour, and then put sugar, yeast, and salt in each hole. Gently cover the holes with the flour. Then add the oil, melted butter and the egg, and combine together.

Step 2: Pour lukewarm milk in the flour mix. Start kneading together and gradually add the lukewarm water a little at a time. You may not need to use all the water, so add it sparingly until your dough comes together and is nice and soft. Knead for a good 10-15 minutes.When the dough becomes smooth and elastic, it is done. (Note: The more you knead the dough, the softer the buns will be).

Step 3: Touch a bit of oil with your fingertips and apply all over the ball of dough. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap or cover with a damp cloth and set it in a warm place for 40 minutes to an hour for it to double in size.

Step 4 :To Make Chicken Filling – Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a frying pan or wok. Saute onion in butter until transculant. Add flour, salt, pepper and red chili and cook for 2-3 minutes. Now add milk and cook for 4-5 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add shredded chicken, green chilies, fresh coriander leaves. Stir until well combined and remove from the heat. Let it cool completely.

Step 5: When the dough has risen into a nice big size, take the dough out of the bowl and Punch it down to remove some of the air in the dough.

Step 6: Divide the dough into 16-18 balls, depending on the size of buns you would like.

Step 7: Gently roll out each piece of dough and make a round ball. Flatten a ball until it is about 3 inches in diameter and place 2 tablespoon of chicken filling in the center.

Step 8: Pull up the edges of the rolled out dough and pinch together to firmly seal the filling within.

Step 9: Put the sealed part face down on the board and press the dough into about a 2 inch diameter. Make 8 decorative slits around the edge, equally spaced apart (either using a pizza cutter or sharp knife or even a pair of kitchen scissors).

Step 10 : Place the prepared buns on a greased cooking sheet or tray and cover with a light cloth and let them rise for about 20 minutes to half an hour.

Step 11: Brush each bun with beaten egg yolks and put some black and white sesame seeds in the center of the each bun.

Step 12: Bake the buns, in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.

Step 13: Remove and brush the buns top with melted butter (it will give nice shiny look) and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.. Flower Shaped Buns are ready to serve. ENJOY with your favorite dipping sauce.

These Flower Shaped Buns are definitely a treat for weekend Tea Party. Especially when served with a luxurious garlic sauce generously topped with mayonnaise.

Delicious, tender, juicy Chicken Shashlik Sticks the whole family loves in less than 40 minutes! These Shashlik Sticks are EASY to make and so versatile.

Chicken Shashlik Sticks

When a friend blogger posted Chicken Shashlik Sticks recipe on Instagram AND I saw it pinned on Pinterest on the same day, I knew it was a sign that I had to make this. The pictures looked so good, and the recipe seemed too easy to be true (spoiler alert, it isn’t!). So I added it to my weekly meal plan. I finally got a chance to make it yesterday, and I am praising the convenience and tastiness of this dish.

This is an easy recipe for Tender & Juicy Chicken Shashlik Sticks. The shashlik sticks were loaded with tender pieces of chicken between juicy tomato chunks, sweet peppers and flavorful onions. The chicken was marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce before firing and the sticks were brushed with the leftover marination while they were being cooked. What a great combination of flavors!

Photo: Chicken Shashlik Sticks

Remove from the grill or griddle and serve immediately. The combination of the juicy chicken bites and colorful veggies with the Shashlik sauce is fantastic! I loved how juicy they turned out.

Check it out the Chicken Shashlik Sticks recipe and printable version here!!

Extra-Bonus Tip:

Make sure you don’t use too big of pieces of chicken because you want everything to cook evenly. I have had one too many (okay, two total- but still that is more than necessary) meals ruined because my chicken wasn’t all the way cooked.

Karahi Butter Chicken Recipe (Makhni Karahi)

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Assalam-o-Alaikum, how are you? Yep, it’s been almost a month since we met. First things first…I had my mid-term exams, so I was lil busy with studying and the other stuff in my life.
However this gap between us wasn’t planned. I was hoping to catch up with you in between, but it didn’t work out.

My celebration “yay, exam is over!”

Finally exams are over I’m finally free to do whatever I want (blogging, eating yummy food, spending time with my plants)😌
Anyways, the first thing I wanted to do was to just pop in here & say a quick hi to you. I hope you roll into the weekend in a joyous mood! May your day be as fantastic as you are!

Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

To release some exams stress, I made this butter karahi by twisting my Father’s recipe…delicious goodness. Can’t wait to share it with you. He used to make the best food. He was an expert on how to make a really good Butter Chicken. Saying that, I’m not too sure how He would feel about this Karahi Butter Chicken version that I’m currently loving.

Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

Name me one thing that doesn’t taste better with a few dollops of cream, a knob or so of butter, a splash of milk, lashings of ghee.

I’ll bet you’re having a hard time thinking up something. It’s a truth of the culinary world that these things all enhance the eating experience of many foods, sweet and savory foods alike and curries are no exception to this.

Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

Take this Karahi Butter Chicken ( Makhni Karahi), for example. I’ve taken the traditional Chicken Karahi dish and made it the way we all love, with the very flavours we all adore and then finished it up with a hearty amount of butter. What does this do? This fills every bite with the very same flavours we desire, along with a moreish, rich bite to it. Every bite tastes like a buttery dream, I tell you. This creamy and velvety gravy will melt in your mouth.

Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

Bismillah, let’s begin!

Recipe Note’s

My final words before I give you the recipe – my Father was an expert at Karahi’s and he always told me what with chicken Karahis, you must work fast. Have all the ingredients chopped up beforehand if you can, and cook the entire thing on high heat. Stirring constantly is imperative, otherwise you risk burning the curry or having it stick to the pan. Skimp on half the oil or butter if you must, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a Karahi dish isn’t truly a Karahi dish without its butter or oil.

I have also posted Restaurant Style Lahori Mutton Karahi and Kebab Karahi which are another easiest & tastiest version of making Karahi at home. Do check it out as well. It’s finger lickin’ good. You’ll be coming back for more.

Mini Pizza Cups Recipe

Pizza is always a crowd pleaser, but making your own can be a bit of a headache. This bite-sized alternative is easy to make and healthy (just 150 calories each!) and as much fun to make as they are to eat.

Mini Pizza Cups

Mini Pizza Cups

I’m sure you’ve all heard of or made Pizza Cupcakes or Pizza Muffins before. But as simple or obvious as this recipe seems, sometimes we need a good reminder of the un-fussy classics. Sometimes you don’t have time or the right ingredients to make an elaborate meal. When this happens, it’s good to have something simple and inexpensive to fall back on.

Healthy, Budget Friendly Mini Pizza Cups? Yes, Yes, and Yes!

Mini Pizza Cups

If you’re crazy about pizza like me, but can’t justify eating it as much as you’d like, this is a great recipe for you. I used leftover pizza dough, chicken, lots of fresh vegetables, and a tablespoon or so of cheese on each mini pizza. Considering each pizza cup base 60 calories, the shredded chicken & cheese about 40 calories, and the rest of the ingredients were vegetables, I’m guessing each pizza had about 150 calories. This is not scientific, but it’s my best guess.

Mini Pizza Cups

An interesting and fun way to present your pizzas. These cute little pizza cups will delight anyone, especially kids. Have your children create their own pizzas, and get creative with the toppings. Perfectly shaped and easy to handle, they make for a great addition to lunch boxes or for picnics and road trips.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Baby Chicken Bread

Chicken bread is a classic of Pakistani bakeries and we served it at most of the tea parties as a staple here. This simple yet delicious bread is easy to make and full of flavor.

All you really need is a few basic ingredients: salt, flour, baking soda and yeast etc. The “trick” to achieving a perfect texture is not to over knead the dough and don’t over bake, as this will make it tough & hard, ugh not good! Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds. And voila! It’s ready to go in the oven for 25 minutes.

Photo: Baby Chicken Bread

On weekend night, I decided to bake chicken bread from scratch and Just for a twist I made them in baby sizes.

Don’t ask me why I do these things. I’m not quite sure myself.

But you have to admit….they’re pretty darn cute.

So now that my kitchen is covered with Baby Chicken Breads, what should I do with them?
Of course, slathering them with hot pepper sauce and taking a big bite doesn’t count. I already did that. Twice.

This recipe is especially handy because it makes A LOT of Baby Chicken Breads (1-1/2 dozen to be exact). So they are the perfect, fuss-free party food. Easy to make, fun to eat.

Notes

Recipe Tip’s:
1. I always make big batches of chicken bread at a go and then wrap them well in foil, then put them in some sort of a cellophane bag and tie it up tight and freeze.
2. They can keep up to 4 weeks! When you need one, you just thaw it out overnight in the fridge or keep it out on the counter until it’s thawed out, then unwrap and then splash a little bit of water using your fingertips on it and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to freshen it back up. Becomes as good as new!

Welcome back to my corner of the blogosphere!

Where have I been you may ask?

I was chilling with my grandparents, stuffing my tummy with yummy food, filling up my body with awesomeness. Nice relaxing day.

My grandparents were happy to see me with them. I Love both of them. They puts a smile on my face and giggle in my heart.

As much as I adore my grandparents, they do treat me like I’m still 6 years old.🤔🤔 I love staying with my grandparents they treat me like I’m royalty, but in reality they are my King & Queen😍
