Yakni Pilau (Chicken Rice)

Tue, 30 Mar 2004 20:00:18 -0500

This is the first dish I learnt as an adult and still it is my speciality... there's only one word to describe it... yum! When I'm cooking this for my husband and myself, I usually remove the legs whole, sprinkle them with spices and brown under grill, and then add the remaining chicken to the rice as per instructions. -- posted by baraahnz

Here is a family-style dish to be served any time of year. It is a substantial soup stew, well seasoned in Afghan style & combined w/a crispy-bottomed rice provides contrasting texture to stew. The stew & rice are served separately. -- posted by digitalchef76

Chicken, Rice, and Spices Bake

Tue, 30 Nov 2004 20:00:45 -0500

I got this recipe from my friend Kasey a long time ago (I have adjusted the spices to my taste) and it is very easy--even for those that just can't seem to get basmati rice to cook "just right". So long as you cover the baking dish tightly with foil, it will not fail! I brought this to a pot-luck at work one day and ever since this dish was always requested by everyone at all of our potlucks.***I am cutting the salt to around half since there are quite a few reviews saying it is too salty. I don't measure the spices when I cook so I think I guessed the amount wrong.*** *** the cinnamon amount should be 1/2 tsp to 3/4 tsp only, not 2 teaspoons. I have tried changing it twice now and get email confirmation that the changes have been approved but it still says 2 tsp of cinnamon. -- posted by ' =^..^= 'Ameera' =^..^= '

If you are a curry lover, then you will really enjoy this cold rice salad. The chilling times for this recipe is about 3 hours so plan ahead, preparing a day in advance is even better. All ingredients may be doubled if deired. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Ami's Zarda

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 02:00:50 -0500

Nice yellow fluffy rice with almonds, sugar and raisins. This is my mom's famous recipe. It's different from the traditional Zarda with lots of oil and sugar. Saving it here for my coming generations. -- posted by Ratatouilleee

Pakistani Style Chanay Ka Pulao (Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans Pilaf)

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:25:03 -0500

This is one of the quickest & yet tastiest meal one can make in emergency situations. Although a lot of people usually have the same recipe for Matar (Greenpeas) Pulao & this Pulao. This recipe is way different than the usual Pulao recipe. This one is a bit spicy & more "masalay daar" as I call it. If you are not used to have it that spicy u can always lessen the quantity of chillie powder. A good tip while making any kind of Pulao is that after you add rice in the water mixture. Cook on a high heat till the water dries up completely & then cover & simmer it on low heat, otherwise you'll end up with a mushy halwa rather than your regular Pulao rice. Ginger garlic paste is also optional in this recipe. Yeah yeah I know its the core ingredient in Pakistani dishes but you can skip it if you want. -- posted by Bint e Naeem

Punjabi/Karachi Style Yakhni Pulao (Chicken Stock Pilaf)

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:52:39 -0400

After so many try outs I finally came with the right fusion for this recipe. Pulao is one of Punjabi people's favorite dish. Its a must serve on all occasions in Pakistan's Punjab province. If you don't want the Karachi style you can omit tomatoes, anise seeds and fresh mint. -- posted by Bint e Naeem

Saffron-Scented Chicken Pilaf (Pilau)

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:17:48 -0400

Fragrant golden pistachio-studded rice with moist and tender chunks of chicken infused with lemony yogurt and musky spices. This is a fabulous one-dish meal! My recipe is a much adapted one, from a Nigella Lawson recipe taken from one of her cookbooks. -- posted by BecR

Mutter Pulao (Rice Pilaf With Peas)

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:27:23 -0400

This Pakistani side dish is superb, it goes great with pretty much anything and is easily enjoyed by itself too. Serve with some yogurt or achar and it's great! It may look a little overwhelming to make but it's actually quite easy. -- posted by dumbell579
