Ingredients:
½ cup cooking oil
2 cups thinly sliced onion
2 bay leaves
2 medium cinnamon sticks
5-6 cardamom pods, bruised
2 black cardamoms, bruised
8-10 black peppercorns
3-4 green chilies, broken in half
1½ tbsp garlic paste
1 kg chicken, cut into small pieces
1 tsp salt
1 small piece of mace, crushed
5 cups hot water
2 tsp salt, to taste
3 cups basmati rice, washed and soaked for 30 minutes
2 tbsp powdered milk (optional)
1 tbsp ghee
1 piece of charcoal for smoking
1 tsp ghee for smoking
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
Heat ½ cup of cooking oil in a large pan over high heat.
Add 2 cups of thinly sliced onions and cook until they turn light brown.
Add Whole Spices:
Once onions are light brown, add 2 bay leaves, 2 cinnamon sticks, 5-6 bruised cardamom pods, 2 bruised black cardamoms, 8-10 peppercorns, and 3-4 broken green chilies.
Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the onions are brown. This step is crucial for flavor development.
Cook Chicken:
Lower the heat and stir in 1½ tbsp of garlic paste, cooking until fragrant, about 30-40 seconds.
Add the chicken pieces, mixing well. Season with 1 tsp salt and crushed mace. Mix again.
Cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes, then sauté for a few more minutes.
Cook with Rice:
Pour in 5 cups of hot water, add 2 tsp salt (adjust to taste), and bring to a simmer.
Add the pre-soaked basmati rice and 3 additional green chilies to the pan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting. Optionally, stir in 2 tbsp of powdered milk.
Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and cooked through.
Smoking the Pulao:
Once cooked, stir in 1 tbsp of ghee.
Create a small space in the center of the pulao, place a small bowl with a hot charcoal piece in it.
Pour 1 tsp of ghee over the charcoal and cover the pan immediately to trap the smoke. Allow it to smoke for 2 minutes.
Remove the charcoal, mix the pulao well to distribute the smoky flavor.
Rest and Serve:
Cover the pulao and let it rest for a few minutes to settle the flavors.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich, smoky, and aromatic Afghani chicken pulao.
This student-friendly recipe is not only economical but also packed with flavors, making it perfect for a hearty meal or gathering. Enjoy your cooking!
