Fried Chicken Pulao

Fried chicken pulao 

This juicy aromatic rice mixed with roasted , moist chicken pieces is my family' favourite meal on weekends!

So aromatic & super delicious!

This is a flavourful one pot meal which can be enjoyed on a weekend or during any celebrations. 

This pulao is prepared with Jeera samba rice / Jeera rice which is a very aromatic short grain rice. This rice has a unique flavour which makes this dish so rich and enjoyable. 

I prepared this dish with boneless chicken as my sons love boneless chicken. You can use chicken with bone too. 



I served this pulao with mint raitha. You can serve with plain raitha or with any salad. 

Recipe is quite simple with few basic ingredients available in the pantry. 

This can be served for the kids lunch box or you can enjoy this for picnic parties too. 

Try this easy dish & enjoy on your weekend. 

Please note:

Use spices as per your choice.

I have added very little masala powder for the pulao as I love delicately flavoured Pulao. You can make it spicier as per your choice. 

I used only 2 tbsp ghee here. You can use as per your preference.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice.

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
