Chicken Pulao is actually Indian Style pilaf that is mouth watering, super quick, savoury and easy to make. Pulao is a delicious dish that is made by basmati rice, chicken stock, spices and different herbs. There are various types of pulao i.e. Mutton Pulao, Chicken Pulao, Matar Pulao, Coconut Pulao or Kashmiri Pulao. I personally love Chicken Pulao. It hardly takes 45 minutes to make. This dish can be served to 4 to 5 people.
