Notes

  1. Cook rice till 90 percent. Taste the rice, it should be cooked completely yet it should have a little bite. 
  2. Don't over cook the rice else it will get mushy when it is steaming.
  3. When you are filling make sure you have half masala and half rice for perfect balance.
  4. You can top the rice with fried nuts, raisins and fried onions.
  5. You can use vegetables or mutton instead of chicken.
