    This is one of the simplest rice preparation you could ever make...It just needs only 30 or so minutes to cook. The only thing which takes time is marinating the chicken. Other than that everything is so simple..

    This pilaf has lots of flavour packed in one..I actually made it couple of weeks before and everyone in my family loved it..You could make it spicy or milder as per your wish. If you are a vegetarian you could make it with paneer, tofu or cauliflower...

    I hope you will love it and let me know what you think..I am giving you step by step recipe with pictures.Check it out...
