Enjoy the wonderful fragrance, flavours of Chicken Yakhni Pulao, one of the greatest Pakistani dishes, where fragrant basmati rice is cooked in a slow-simmered chicken stock (Yakhni) with whole spices used. A classic, time tested recipe, this is a dish of home and comfort, of welcome and family time around the table, or a day-in meal with some fresh vegetables on the side.
Chicken Yakhni Pulao starts with high quality halal chicken chunks, slowly cooked with onions, garlic, ginger and a selection of whole spices such as cinnamon, black cardamom, green cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Its cooking mostly slowly drips out all the flavor into an aromatic golden broth that makes up the heart of the dish.
When the yakhni is done we delicately pour over the best long-grain basmati rice, ensure it gets that luscious chicken flavour, but remains separate and fluffy. The freshness of the earth and the sweetness of the spices are there, just enough to warm the nose without singeing, but not oily or overwhelmingly hot, either.
When served alongside cooling raita, fresh salad or even a sour pickle, Chicken Yakhni Pulao provides ideal combination of health and flavor a dish that so many people the world over love to eat during celebratory occasions and as a staple everyday comfort food as well.
