Making fried chicken pulao at home is pretty simple. This recipe was shared on Instagram by content creator Puja Korupu. To make it, start by:
Take your choice of chicken. Wash it and put it in a pan. Now, add double the amount of water. Add bay leaf, salt, and ginger-garlic paste. Boil until tender.
Once the chicken is boiled and the broth is ready, remove the pieces onto a plate. Now, marinate them with salt, red chilli powder, black pepper, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken well before adding curd and corn flour. Mix well. Fry the pieces until crispy.
In a separate pan, add some oil along with coriander powder, star anise, a cinnamon stick, and chopped onions. Cook until translucent. Then, add tomatoes, salt, and ginger-garlic paste, and cook until mushy. Add the spices-red chilli powder and garam masala before mixing in a bit of yogurt. Once the oil starts leaving the masala, add chopped coriander leaves and green chillies.
In the same pan, add the prepared chicken broth and mix well. Once it comes to a boil, add lemon wedges and soaked rice, along with the fried chicken pieces. Mix well and cover with a lid until the rice is cooked. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving hot!
