This pulao is a protein rich tasty one pot meal serve it with raita it taste yummy no less than a biryani .Chicken is my fav and so are Chana/Gram but i love the Desi ones more.I read of many Chana pulaos on the net and thought of giving it a try my way.Now i had marinated some chicken breast in green masala and kept it ready in the fridge which really saved lot of time
.So I just soaked chanas and used the chicken and this delicious pulao was ready.
This Chana and Chicken Pulao went really well with onion and tomato raita.It was a very satisfying one pot meal .There is nothing fancy used in this Chicken and Chana Pulao .I just added fried onions/barista for a nice taste.Do try this easy and delicious pulao which gets ready within 30 mins if you have soaked chanas and marinated chicken ahead. Make it in a pressure cooker as I did cos it saves time and is best when you are pressed with time.
Ingredients
1 cup boiled kabuli chana/chick peas
250 gms chicken breast /boneless chicken
