    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.

    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.

    Step 1

    To make the marinade:

    Mix the curry paste, yogurt, chicken and salt together, cover and leave overnight in the fridge to absorb all the delicious flavors.

    Step 2

    Preheat a conventional oven to 220ºC or a fan-assisted one to 200ºC.

    Step 3

    Wipe the marinade off the chicken and place, piece by piece, onto a baking tray.

    Step 4

    Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly charred, but not cooked through.

    Step 5

    You are just trying to get some colour here because the chicken will finish cooking in the curry sauce.

    Step 6

    Set the tikka chicken aside while you make the sauce.

    Step 7

    Heat the curry paste in a saucepan.

    Step 8

    Add the onion and sweat slowly over a low heat for five to eight minutes or until the onion is translucent and soft.

    Step 9

    It is important to take the time to do this slowly because the onion will then release its natural sugars, producing a sweeter dish, but be careful not to do this over too high a heat because the curry paste will burn.

    Step 10

    Add the pasta and coconut milk and bring to the boil.

    Step 11

    Turn down the heat and add the tikka chicken.

    Step 12

    Cook over a low heat for five minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

    Step 13

    Finish by stirring through the yogurt and coriander.

    Step 14

    To make the Fragrant Rice:

    Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the aromatics to a pan and cover with enough water to come 1cm over the top of the rice.

    Step 15

    Bring to the boil and simmer for eight minutes, covered.

    Step 16

    The rice should have absorbed almost all of the water, but still be a bit wet.

    Step 17

    Remove from the heat and leave to absorb the remaining water for 10 minutes, covered.

    Step 18

    Remove the cinnamon stick before serving with the curry. Chicken Tikka Masala Rice is ready to serve. Enjoy!
