Chicken Pulao
There are many recipes for chicken pulao, but I like to make it with basic and simple ingredients, as well as an easy method. This is one pot pulao, and I am sharing it especially for busy moms. I like to serve it with kachumber salad and chickpeas raita, which is my daughter’s favourite.
