Sam Adris Did you follow it to the tea or did you improvise at any point ? As I know it can get a little tricky with salt as this depends on the rice you use , sometimes you need extra .

Hi loving your recipes. I've made the mutton pulao which was amazing and left me hunting more of your recipes. I have induction hob and I'm sure your dum style and timings are different for both the mutton and chicken dishes, can you explain a fool proof method 👍

[@maryamrai4316]

Looking delicious.....😍❤

[@basant_catering]

Thank you so much & ur awesome!!!

[@khurram88]

I loved the Ammi ji dialogue in the end.

[@nazia7036]

That looks beautiful. We make pilau and it never looks like that! I will be trying this way out for sure. Im so happy you guys are on youtube, your videos are great and easy to follow. Just got one question, i was always taught if you have for example, 3 glasses of rice you add 6 glasses of water. I noticed you had 3 glasses of rice and 4 and half of water. Was your rice partly cooked? Thank you again! I watch you all the way from the England!

[@basant_catering]

Thank you so much for taking the time out to watch my work, ur awesome #basantfamily. As far as measurement of water VS rice is for PULAO(3 glasses rice = 5 Glasses water) you have to account for evaporation . My rice went in raw in the stock but the stock to rice ratio is perfect & u see the result. Again thank you so much & ur awesome!!!

[@rufi71]

N Iqbal It is most probably cuz the rice was soaked.

[@basant_catering]

Rufi Razzak rice is always washed and soaked, I want to make it clear that has nothing to do with rice to stock ratio. I have very clearly mentioned the measurements so you can get on point results thank you!!!!

[@hayderimran7]

[@basiraskitchen7849]

hi brother normaly for basmathi rice cooking we will use 1:2 ratio of water or yakni....u hre for 3cups of water u adding 4 1/2 cups water ..how does the rice get cook in that water can u pls explain ..

[@adeebahmad9126]

Great recipe as always! What rice do you use?

[@basant_catering]

Adeeb Ahmad thank you so much for taking the time out to watch my work & the review. I use XL aged basmati rice royal chef

[@Sadidesifamily]

Awesome recipe bhai! So proud of you!!! Wanted to ask see if you put the whole garam masala/ginger garlic/green chilli (all the chunky ingredients) etc that goes in the yakhni in a muslin cloth and put it in the water would that change the yakhni in any manner? Maybe add a bit more water but the rest is the same? Its just you make it how me and mom do but...the seperating part can be a bit tedious...lol your views? Basically making a potli of ingredients

[@basant_catering]

Saf 84 thank you so much for taking the time out to watch my work & ur Awesome. Yes you can do it that way I just like doing it the old school way & I run the stock through a big strainer . Everything separates in one step, I just wanted to show u guys a step. Thank you & ur Awesome!!!!

[@Sadidesifamily]

BASANT thanks bhai. Yeah its an idea. Old school is the best way. I need a big strainer! lol all the best bhai. Keep being awesome!

[@sakhawathussain6527]

brother do u soak your rice in hot or cold water and for how long I'm really struggling getting my rice nice and fluffy like yoirs

[@basant_catering]

Sakhawat Hussain this is a great question, I wash my rice 3 times with hand to get all the starch out in room temp water & soak them for at least 30 mins thank you !!!!!

[@rem8908]

What is better? Chicken or beef pulao?

[@ha8236]

When you put the rice in the first time, did you boil it or was it rice from the bag?

[@basant_catering]

Thank you so much no rice is just washed & soaked it cooks in the broth

[@soulcandy5758]

why did you put so much oil , since i am living abroad alone i eat a lot , i think i will eat more than half of this pulao , so about one cup oil per day , can i use less oil

[@basant_catering]

Viral AdDicKtt if you want to use 1 cup then use it, this is exactly what you need to cook 6.5 lbs chicken & 3 glasses of rice it feeds 8 to 10 people recipe. I hope I was able to explain it thank you

[@HAmin-rv8jo]

Hi ...do you skim the yakhni when it forms on top? Thanks

[@basant_catering]

Thank you for taking the timeout to watch my work & I dont skim it

Where can I get the "Red Chili Powder"? It's not the same as what is called 'chili powder' here in North America.

[@basant_catering]

@@margaretstokely9016 kashmiri red chilli powder is not hot. It's usually used to give the food some color.

[@adindeeas4301]

Can you please explain the rice to water ratio. I was always told to double (1 rice cup = 2 water cup). So how much water would you use for 1 cup?

[@lyricsworld6032]

He took 5 glasses of water for 3 glasses of rice.

[@sakhawathussain6527]

brother please could you also tell me how long it should stay on dhum for please

[@basant_catering]

Sakhawat Hussain I will give a approximate time 5mins on high & 4 mins on med heat check the rice. It also depends on the kind of pot you have & the stove thank you & ur Awesome!!!!

[@RubyDiamondZ]

Isn’t that a big no no whole cooking rice, you’re not supposed to take the lid until rice is fully cooked

[@basant_catering]

Baby Luv I took the lid of after the rice is fully cooked, it’s called Dum & I showed the rice in the pot & on the Platter how perfectly they r done.

[@atiqahbatool9481]

Can i make the yakhni using boneless chicken breasts?

[@omnusaybah587]

He doesn't recommend it

[@lyricsworld6032]

That will not be yakhni. It will be boiled chicken. For yakhni you need bones. That's what gives it its flavor.
