Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken, skinless and boneless Thighs preferred for juiciness
  • 2 cups Basmati Rice Rinse thoroughly for fluffy rice
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust according to taste
  • 2 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste Homemade is preferred for freshness
  • 100 g Curd For marination, adds tenderness
  • Oil (for cooking) Vegetable oil, sunflower oil, or ghee can be used

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken with ginger-garlic paste, salt, and curd. Massage into the chicken, cover, and let it chill for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  • Heat a pot over medium heat and add oil. Cook the marinated chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add 3-4 cups of water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Optionally, add spices like a stick of cinnamon or cardamom pods.
  • Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly and add it to the boiling water in the pot. Stir and cover, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Serving

  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff gently with a fork and serve hot.

Notes

Quality ingredients matter. Don't rush the marinating process for the best flavor. Feel free to customize with veggies or other spices.
