A very easy and simple yet deliciously fragrant chicken pilaf
Ingredients:

3 bay leaves
2 dried red peppers
1 large cinnamon stick
1 tbsp yogurt
11/2 tbsp garlic
11/2 tbsp green chutney
salt to taste
1 tsp lemon juice
Marinate the chicken in
3 tbsp yogurt
1 tbsp ginger and garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp garam masala
Method:
In a large pot add the oil, once heated add the cumin seeds, dried peppers, cloves, peppercorns, cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaves let this fry a little so its fragrant before you add the onions and let this fry a little, by frying the onions till they are dark makes a darker pilaf and if you leave it light the pilaf will be lighter. Next add the chicken and stir fry everything really really well and proceed by adding the garlic and green chutney, yogurt, salt, and lemon juice.

At this time the all the ingredients in the pilaf should be cooked.

Sorry to say this, I think both the recipes missed out on tomatoes, which in fact makes them more delicious, in fact as soon as you the first spices and just as you add the onions, add some tomatoes and then add the yogurt....it will be more delicious....thanks

[@Raihanascuisines]

+Shaffin Haji There are a lot of versions on making pilaf this is just one version, you are most welcome to use tomatoes if you like.. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
