Chicken Pulao

Friends hope you all had a good week end,September is my first blog anniversary and like to thank you all for your support and valuable comments.So today I am sharing a special recipe to celebrate the occasion.
As my kiddo and hubby dear both likes non-veg most of our Sunday lunch would be either chicken or egg.My son prefers chicken 65 and some mild pulaos rather than biriyani and curry so I make either chicken pulao or veggie pulao.
This chicken pulao is a milder version and the spice level can be adjusted according to the preference.Last Sunday I made this pulao and paired up with chicken 65,chicken kulambhu.
As I was in a hurry on that day I couldn't take nice pictures,will update the picture soon.Now off  to the recipe ........................
