Cooking oil 1/8 cup
 

 
Mustard oil 1/4 cup
 

 
Onion chopped 1 cup
 

 
White basmati rice 3 cup
 

 
Hot water 3 cup
 

 
Green chilli sliced 6 pcs

Preparation
 

 
Wash and soak basmati rice in a bowl for at least 1hr before cooking. Drain the water and keep it aside.

Directions
 

 
In a heated pan, add cooking oil and mustard oil, add bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and onion. Sauté until onions are translucent. Add chicken pieces, garlic, ginger paste and salt to taste. Saute chicken at high heat, add yogurt mix ( yogurt + sugar), nutmeg, mace and prunes. Continue to sauté for 10 mins at high heat. Add 1 cup hot water to cook the chicken under closed lid. Cook for 10 mins at high heat, occasionally stirring in between. The chicken will have gravy that will be mixed with rice.

In another pan, add mustard oil, cooking oil and chopped onions. Saute onions until they are translucent. Add soaked basmati rice, hot water and salt to taste. Close lid and cook rice until it's half done at high heat. Add chicken mix into the pan with rice and mix them all together. Add green chilli and cook tehari further under low heat and closed lid. Cook for 20 mins at dome (dome is a process to cook at very low heat and closed lid. This process can also be substituted for baking in the oven.)

Serve hot, enjoy!
