Tips for the Perfect White Chicken Pulao:
1. Rice Quality: It is necessary to use Basmati rice because its long grain texture and fragrance makes your pulao the best. If you do not have basmati rice, you can use long-grain rice as well but the taste may be slightly different.
2. Chicken Type: If you use boneless chicken, the cooking time may be less. If you are using bone-in chicken, then adjust the cooking time a little.
3. Spices:This recipe is quite simple and you can adjust the spices according to your taste. If you want it a little spicy, you can add extra green chillies. If you want it more flavorful, you can add garam masala or biryani masala.
4. Yogurt: Yogurt is used in marination to make the chicken tender. If you do not have fresh yogurt, you can use thick curd as well.
5. Cooking in a Pot: If you are not using a pressure cooker, use a heavy-bottomed pot so that the rice cooks evenly. It is important to close the fire tightly and keep it on the stove for 15-20 minutes.
