Directions
Yakni Pilau Chicken Rice, This is the first dish I learnt as an adult and still it is my speciality… there’s only one word to describe it… yum! When I’m cooking this for my husband and myself, I usually remove the legs whole, sprinkle them with spices and brown under grill, and then add the remaining chicken to the rice as per instructions., This was 4.5 for us – we really enjoyed it. Next time I wouldn’t add the cooked chicken to the rice until the end as ours was a tad dry. Otherwise, a lovely change!, I am upping my stars to 4 3/4! I had previously not enjoyed the rose water smell and taste of this as the one I had made it taste and smell extremely artificial but since I have bought a better rose water, more expensive, that is Iranian and I liked this so much more. I dont put as many peppercorns out of preference here and simmer the chicken along with a couple organic carrots, celery leaves and a celery stalk for even more flavor. That is actually the main way I make chicken stock in general used Recipe #126026 toast blanched slivered almonds in a dry frying pan over medium high watching carefully and I also add the green peas of which use the frozen type. use white Basmati rice. I serve this with a fresh salad and it is delicious accompanied by Recipe #233411 Turkish yogurt salad I will make this again with the Recipe #233411 or another yogurt salad.
