ABOUT Chicken Yakhni Pulao RECIPE

This is my version of a Kashmiri style Chicken Yakhni Pulao, that is light and without too much of spices or ghee. It is prepared just like mutton yakhni pulao, but with a few variations. I cooked this fragrant pulao in chicken cube stock and few aromatic spices. Serve, garnished with fried onions and cashews. Relish it with raita and salad for a satisfying one-pot meal.
