Marie, thank you for your comment! Did you follow the recipe fully? I mean I can't seem to understand why it would be bitter at all. Did you add more whole spices than what the recipe stated?!
Ahh ok, yes sometimes when you add a little too many whole spices they can overpower any dish. I think that's what's happened in this case. Yes, definitely do try it again with the amount I used in the video and it should turn out perfect and apologies for the extremely late response, your message notification just popped up today. 😊
Thank you so much for this recipe. For 15 years I've struggled with pilau rice until tonight! Not only was your recipe easy to follow, the rice tastes amazing and the best I've ever made them. This will now be my go to chicken pilau recipe. I can't tell you how happy I am. My husband and children polished off their plates which is something they've never done before when I've made pilau! I also got a... they taste as good as your mum's compliment! I've even dished some out to family, again something I've not done before. Thank you so much 😊 Will definitely be trying out some more of your recipes.
Rehana, this is just so wonderful to hear! Makes me so happy knowing that the dish was enjoyed by everyone. Please do check out my other videos too, I've over 150+ of them...
I am so glad you explained this! My family don't understand me when i ask questions but you literally answered answered all of them so clearly even the little points you explained. ! Love this channel now
I checked RUclips for pilau rice recipes and found yours the easiest to follow. Just made it today for my family and it's AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for sharing! 💕
"Ummm it smells incredible" I can vouch for that, I swear the smell was emanating out of my Laptop, seriously.....OMG cant wait to make that. Love your style , keep them coming.
John, thank you for your comment! This is such a wonderful dish and I can fully relate to the amazing aromas coming through your laptop! Please, definitely do try the recipe out you'll not be disappointed.😊👍
Fozia, thank you. I'm glad you find the recipes easy to follow, Iet me know how you get on with it when you get round to making this! Would love to hear! 😊
I made this yesterday and all I can say is WOW 😍. A nice easy to follow recipe that tastes amazing. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to trying some of your other recipes x
Hello, I have just subscribed and love your channel. I am an English Rose married to a Wonderful Pakistani man for 10 yrs but love learning different ways of cooking pilau and all the other wonderful dishes. You explain it so well and I have learnt things I never knew Thankyou xxx
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your comment. I am so pleased that my recipes are easy to follow and you are loving the content. Everyone has different tips/tricks and I'm happy to hear they're helping you! 😊👍
Hi Shamza! Been meaning to try this for a while, and finally did this evening. It was absolutely delicious! The only thing is I tried to cut corners, and not finish it off in the oven - just turning my stove very low - and some of the rice stuck. Not enough to affect the flavor though. Definitely will be doing this more in the future!
This is really really good, made it a few weeks ago and everyone was asking when next I'm making it. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to try some of your other recipes
As always, excellent. Please keep it up, love your videos! For the part inside the oven, could you perhaps include that next time in your video? More specifically, at what level in the oven you leave the pot for the 15 minutes.. Thank you!
Henning Souz, of course, I'll remember for next time! If it helps, I just moved the grill rack to the middle of the oven, so the pot was sitting bang in the middle. 😊
My Little Kitchen I will be making it on Eid so will let you know then. I’ve made your lamb pilau twice now and it came out lovely. The lamb was a little tough so not sure why. I used back chops and did exactly as you said 🤷🏻♀️ but overall my family loved it. Thank you for all your recipes ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. May I ask was the chops a little on the thick side? If so they may have needed an extra 10 mins or so cooking time in the yakhni. I always try to get the butcher to cut mine roughly 1- 1.1/2 inch thick peices which is what I used in the video. Try that next time and In sha Allah the meat will be super tender, falling off the bone! 😊
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes thanks u so much u are amazing!!u safe my life!!my husbad is from Pk and I always safer to cook your food..because off u I understand hov to cook🥰🥰
Can i use less oil or do you need that amount? I really want to make this. Also I have a fan oven what temperature would I put it on is it the same? Many thanks x
Hi Ali, you may reduce the amount of oil if you wish. I think it'll work perfectly with probably 1/4 cup less. And yes its the same oven setting as stated in the video as mine too is fan assisted. Enjoy 😊👍
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes hey I used half cup and made it yesterday turned out perfectly 🤗 thanks so much.. Also say I was to make more rice would I just add an extra cup just like thie video however much rice I use? So if I used 5 I'd put in 6 cups? Thanks again x
If I want to make 1500g of pilau rice means I’ll have to double up every ingredient for it to work? Plus 1cup of oil is there a specific measurement? I’m really not good at this without specific measurements 🙏🏾🙈
Wsalaam, thank you for your comment. It all depends on peoples portion sizes and also if this is the only dish on the menu. Normally this feeds around 6/8 approx. You could add an extra cup of rice to this to bulk it out, so for 4 cups of rice you'd add 5 cups of water to make the rice. Hope that helps.
Hi Autumn Autumn, thanks for your comment 😊 If you cannot find them then just leave them out. The green ones give off a completely different flavour and aroma. Enjoy!
Also how many servinggs roughly does this equate to. I need to make 8 servings so just wondering if I should use 4 cups rice instead and how much water to add into the chicken mix instead.. 5 cups?
All depends on how much people eat. This would happily feed 5/6 people with a healthy portion size but if you're feeding 8 people, it's always better to be left with a little more than to run out! I would use 1.5 chicken or you could use 1 whole chicken and add 2 chicken breasts cut into tikka boti size peices (which I normally do as I've fussy kids who like meat off the bone 🙄) which also works well. Yes 5 cups of water to 4 cups of rice. Hope that helps and I hope you enjoy the end product In sha Allah 😊👍
I know that's the hardest part I guess. Just want to add, since you're cooking 4 cups of rice, increase the onions to 1.1/2 and the salt to 2 tablespoons. In sha Allah it will be perfect. JazakAllah and dua mein yaad! 🙏😊
All depends on portion size. If all 7 people are adults then quite possibly no. Why not add an extra cup of rice to this recipe which should cover it! So: 4mugs or 1kg rice to 5 mugs of water rather than the 4 in the video and increase salt by 1/2 tablespoon whilst keeping all other ingredients the same. Hope that helps.
Thanks for you comment TAJINDER, I plan to do a video on mutton real soon. Keep watching this space. If you fancy a Lamb Pilau in the mean time then check out my video below 👇 ruclips.net/video/l5-xDF7ks0c/видео.html
Honestly this recipe has not only become a staple in our house, it’s also helped me understand these types of dishes so much more. It really is all down to the colour of those onions! Thank you so much ❤️
Hi I managed to make this dish the other day and it turned out soooo good. My inlaws were so impressed so thank you soo much for all your help! It was perfect and I'll definitely be making this again.
What if we fry the chicken in the onion/garlic/ginger mix before adding the tomatoes. Would that not get rid of that chickeny smell better? Would the end result be altered? I like that this recipe is so easy to follow ❤
I tried out this recipe and it turned out amazing! The pulao looked and tasted great, everybody loved it and I've shared your recipe with family and friends. Thank you :)
On a lesser note. Add less tomato as it can make pelau taste sweet,you don't want to add cumin and other spices before the onions get browned as it does not take longer them to burn, also leave the rice alone in the end no need to keep mixing them till last breath as they will become khichri. All these tips are for beginners.
Very good advice. Its always good to leave the rice alone for a good 10/15 minutes and then to mix it gently. As it is way too hot to mix as soon as you take it off the heat and it will break easily.
Absolutely amazing. I've tried so many times to make pilau rice but never quite got it right. I've never been able to make it like mum's but after my first attempt with this recipe it was amazing! It tasted just like her's!!! Thank you so much
Harry, Reading this comment just made my day! So pleased to hear this went down a treat and it tasted like your mums 💜 I'm probably late with this reply but any extra pilau cooked freezes really well. Just so you know for next time.
@My Little Kitchen I'm glad it made your day because I was over the moon! The freezing suggestion is also a really good one and I'll try that next time I end up with a large amount, thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😄 p.s. we tried it with mutton keema and it was amazing!
Your recipes are amazing and the most thorough with details of real life cooking. The explanation of time is most helpful, plus the visuals of how the food should look at each step are more than a girl can ask for! Thanks so much. Am cooking this now and just had to let you know how helpful your recipe has been. xxx
Hi Dalia, thank you for your comment. So pleased to hear my content is easy and simple to follow. Your kind words mean a lot. 😊 and I hope you enjoyed the recipe once it was cooked.
Can I just clarify: when you told us about the ingredients needed at the beginning, you stated 3 cups of rice. Is that 3 cups of dried rice before soaking? Thank you. Your recipes are great!
Yes, correct that's before soaking. Please do subscribe and turn your bell notifications on to see my new videos and don't forget to go through my older videos to find some amazing recipes.
I’ve been searching for a simple chicken brown rice recipe for so long, my mum passed away 2 years ago and made rice exactly like this. I’ve been searching on RUclips and came across so many variations where you make yakhni first or something which is just so long! Making it tomorrow In Sha Allah
Hi Lasha, thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear of your loss! ILWIR. I normally never do a yakhni for chicken pilau as it's not needed due to chicken cooking faster than lamb and mutton! This is a wonderful recipe, do let me know how you find it! Enjoy!
Pls, do you have a solution for me, that rice do not burn at the bottom of the pressure cooker while it is on dum on a induction stove, cooking the biryani?
Hi Eddy, Thank you for your comment. A small amount of rice sticking is quite normal, but since your using an induction hob, the heat is Intense and direct. Try using an induction diffuser to evenly distribute the heat which may help! I have a ceramic hob and can fully understand the issues of working with intense heat! Hope that helps! 😊
Hi Usmaa, thanks for your comment! No offense taken sweety! 😊The rice wasn't mushy at all, infact I should have zoomed into the pot which I completely forgot to do so you all could see that each grain was separated. Leaving any amount of water before putting the rice on dum will result in very mushy rice! 😊
Thank you for this. I gave it a shot last night and it was perfect. I gave mine 9 out of 10 because it was enjoyed without raita or a curry on top. It was divine on its own. I’m going to enjoy it this morning for breakfast with 2 fried eggs and an awesome cup of tea which as stated before is pure heaven for me. So many thanks indeed. I remain your ever indebted and truly grateful student & admirer of your talent. 🌹🌹🌹
Brother Abdaljabbar, nothing compares to a good, tasty pilau (I prefer chicken to lamb) and oh god yes to it for breakfast! You ain't a 'Desi' if you can't have it for brekkie! Lol Enjoy... And JazakAllah for your kind words! Stat blessed! 😊
I have just joined your channel today when l was looking for pilau recipes, many of them l could not understand, until l clicked on yours, u explain everything good, lam do glad that lam gonna make chicken pilau rice today for lunch, even l have immediately joined the channel for more recipes Ch
I made your recipe a few days ago for my son in law who just arrived from Pakistan. He loved it! He made a delicious yogurt sauce to go with it. 😍. Thank you for a great recipe!
Hi Susan, thank you for your comment. Wonderful to hear you all enjoyed this recipe! Please do take a look at my channel playlist which has many more authentic recipes. 😊👍
If you use 4 cups of rice with 1 whole chicken, how much salt do you have to put? Could you tell me the measurements of the other ingredients aswel for 4 cups of rice. Thanks.
Hi there, keep all other ingredients the same other than the salt and water that goes in to cook the rice. Total salt - 2.5 tablespoons Water - 5 mugs Let me know how you find the recipe 😊👍
Love your recipes and your channel. Our family used to do the same re washing meat before cooking however once I started medical school I learned that washing chicken spreads the campylobacter and other harmful bacteria that are present on raw chicken. Washing will never remove these bacteria and the splashes of contaminated water land all over your kitchen sink and surrounding area. This can lead to serious illness/food poisoning.
That looks delicious. Out of curiosity does it make a difference if you put the pulao in the oven versus if you leave it on the stove in the lowest heat setting for 15 minutes or so ?
Hi there 😊 Thank you! In my opinion yes. The rice will cook even on a hob but I feel that because there is even distribution of heat in an oven, it cooks better and I guess doesn't catch at the bottom, which is sometimes more commonly done on a hob. Hope that helps.
I'm going to make this dish tomorrow. I made your Lamb Pilau and it was amazing. I had been looking for a recipe for that dish since my friends mum made it for me years ago.
This should be proper way of cooking biryani if anyone wants to get perfect taste of biryani. In Bangladesh we do in same process except we fry rice in ghee with and onion and garam masala and add required amount of water. Next step add cooked chicken and stir together. After a few minutes when whole mixture is thicken then put the lid on put in very slow gas and they taste super. But in abroad we can put in the oven. Thanks for showing in real way . Cooking them separately and mixing them together is a gulf of taste in biryani cooking . Although basmati rice is very soft if not careful rice gets mashed or broken..
I have never made pulao before and this made things so much easier! Thank you so much for making it so simple, my rice were cooked so perfectly and fluffy, I could not be happier, I did tweak it a bit, but, honestly so so so good Masha’Allah. 💕
Thank you for this recipe, I picked it up 6 months ago and I have made it ever since. This is by far my favorite pilau recipe, and I will be cooking it today as well. Much appreciated!
Hi - I made this last night and had some leftovers today. It was delicious and the flavour was so much more than the sum of the parts! Thank you so much for this recipe - will be making more of these for sure !
Eid Mubarak! I made this today along with your chicken masala curry and crispy chicken tenders! My family said that i made everything perfect! You are a God send. Thank you for all your recipes ❤️
Khair Mubarak ros A, and Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones too! I hope you had a lovely day! I'm so happy that everyone enjoyed the food and in sha Allah you'll try more recipes! I have lots more to share.. 😊👍
Hi Catherine, thanks for your comment. Did you rinse the cloth under water and squeeze out the excess water before putting it in the oven? If you didn't do that, then that's the reason why the cloth burnt! You could replace the cloth with foil which works equally well. Hope that helps!
Hi Shamza, just found your channel and I think its amazing. Great recipes! Quick Q. Instead of putting the pan in the oven, can I cook it on the hob? I guess you put it in the oven as the rice would cook better. Again, great channel and keep up the great work.
Besides your yummy recipes you are a fantastic teacher. Will surely try your pulluo recipe! Be well and prosper. I follow you from California I am so glad a British Pakistani puts up cooking in Pakistani style
Thank you! Amazing vid and easy to follow..glad you give clear instructions as someone like me dont know how to cook. For some reason mine came out abit soggy. 😢unsure why
Hi Fozia, my hob is ceramic one not induction and that is a cast iron pot. It's from the Cuisinart range, weighs a ton but is brilliant! I highly recomend it and its compatible with induction hobs too. Hope that helps! 😊
This is the best ever recipe online, highly recommend it. If i can cook this any one can - fyi I have never cooked anything before, first attempt it was absolutely amazing. Thank you 🙏
just a massive thank you for this, this was properly the most clear explanation video I have ever watched on brown rice. I just finished making this. ready to put it in the oven now and it already smells divine. for a 20 year who loved pilauu this is just so amazing. thank you sis xxxx well update on how it tasted!!!🤪 new sub bttwww xx
Hi Roxx1, thanks for your comment. How wonderful to hear that you've attempted this recipe and I'm now eagerly awaiting to hear how it turned out now! Well done and thank you for the kind words 😊👍
This is the second recipe of yours I’ve tried and I love your recipes they taste so good. I’ve tried a lot of other youtubers recipes and it never tastes like that homemade recipe that your mom would make however yours always tastes really authentic. Thank you keep up the good work x
Hi Tahmina, thank you for your comment. I'm so happy to hear that your loving the recipes and the end product is turning out great. I pride myself on trying to show recipes which are easy to follow and are authentic and true to home style cooking. So glad I've achieved that Alhamdulilah! 😊

Not only that you cook yummy foods but you are f*****g beautiful and attractive girl. 👍 Stay blessed!
On a lesser note. Add less tomato as it can make pelau taste sweet,you don't want to add cumin and other spices before the onions get browned as it does not take longer them to burn, also leave the rice alone in the end no need to keep mixing them till last breath as they will become khichri.
All these tips are for beginners.
Thanks for your expert advice! 👍
Very good advice. Its always good to leave the rice alone for a good 10/15 minutes and then to mix it gently. As it is way too hot to mix as soon as you take it off the heat and it will break easily.
Add curd after adding chicken and lots of coriander mint and at the end when add rice add 2 lemon juice in it it turns out much better
Absolutely amazing. I've tried so many times to make pilau rice but never quite got it right. I've never been able to make it like mum's but after my first attempt with this recipe it was amazing! It tasted just like her's!!! Thank you so much
Harry, Reading this comment just made my day! So pleased to hear this went down a treat and it tasted like your mums 💜
I'm probably late with this reply but any extra pilau cooked freezes really well. Just so you know for next time.
@My Little Kitchen I'm glad it made your day because I was over the moon! The freezing suggestion is also a really good one and I'll try that next time I end up with a large amount, thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😄
p.s. we tried it with mutton keema and it was amazing!
This is the chicken pilau recipe I have been searching for 🙌 Thank you!
My pleasure 😊
Your recipes are amazing and the most thorough with details of real life cooking. The explanation of time is most helpful, plus the visuals of how the food should look at each step are more than a girl can ask for! Thanks so much. Am cooking this now and just had to let you know how helpful your recipe has been. xxx
Hi Dalia, thank you for your comment. So pleased to hear my content is easy and simple to follow. Your kind words mean a lot. 😊 and I hope you enjoyed the recipe once it was cooked.
Absolutely, I agree! It is so helpful to be able to see what it should look like at each stage.
Can I just clarify: when you told us about the ingredients needed at the beginning, you stated 3 cups of rice. Is that 3 cups of dried rice before soaking?
Thank you.
Your recipes are great!
Yes, correct that's before soaking. Please do subscribe and turn your bell notifications on to see my new videos and don't forget to go through my older videos to find some amazing recipes.
I made this for Eid today and in my 10 years in Australia have never been able to make it like this. Thank you so much and Eid Mubark x
Salma, this made me so happy! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I’ve been searching for a simple chicken brown rice recipe for so long, my mum passed away 2 years ago and made rice exactly like this. I’ve been searching on RUclips and came across so many variations where you make yakhni first or something which is just so long! Making it tomorrow In Sha Allah
Hi Lasha, thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear of your loss! ILWIR.
I normally never do a yakhni for chicken pilau as it's not needed due to chicken cooking faster than lamb and mutton! This is a wonderful recipe, do let me know how you find it! Enjoy!
I’m making it now but just wondering where does the heat and spice come from? The whole spices??
Pls, do you have a solution for me, that rice do not burn at the bottom
of the pressure cooker while it is on dum on a induction stove, cooking
the biryani?
Hi Eddy, Thank you for your comment. A small amount of rice sticking is quite normal, but since your using an induction hob, the heat is Intense and direct. Try using an induction diffuser to evenly distribute the heat which may help! I have a ceramic hob and can fully understand the issues of working with intense heat! Hope that helps! 😊
You are a wonderful teacher. I followed your recipe and I am hooked. You just gained a new subscriber. God bless you😍👏🏾
Miss Lukanda, thank you for your comment. I'm so happy that the recipe was enjoyed! Thank you for your support! 🙏
Thank you so much for this recipe! It is the most simplest one I found but the most delicious one :) x
Thank you Nimmi P for your comment! Isn't it just! So pleased you enjoyed it! 😊
Does have to be cooking oil? Or can you use lurpak butter
Hi Jackie, think I've already answered this on another comment of yours. 😊👍
No offense but the rice looks quite mushy, maybe if you dont dry out water completely and just leave a few bubbles then put on dum
Hi Usmaa, thanks for your comment! No offense taken sweety! 😊The rice wasn't mushy at all, infact I should have zoomed into the pot which I completely forgot to do so you all could see that each grain was separated. Leaving any amount of water before putting the rice on dum will result in very mushy rice! 😊
Thank you for this. I gave it a shot last night and it was perfect. I gave mine 9 out of 10 because it was enjoyed without raita or a curry on top. It was divine on its own.
I’m going to enjoy it this morning for breakfast with 2 fried eggs and an awesome cup of tea which as stated before is pure heaven for me.
So many thanks indeed. I remain your ever indebted and truly grateful student & admirer of your talent. 🌹🌹🌹
Brother Abdaljabbar, nothing compares to a good, tasty pilau (I prefer chicken to lamb) and oh god yes to it for breakfast! You ain't a 'Desi' if you can't have it for brekkie! Lol
Enjoy... And JazakAllah for your kind words! Stat blessed! 😊

Thank you 😊👍
I made your recipe a few days ago for my son in law who just arrived from Pakistan. He loved it! He made a delicious yogurt sauce to go with it. 😍. Thank you for a great recipe!
Hi Susan, thank you for your comment. Wonderful to hear you all enjoyed this recipe! Please do take a look at my channel playlist which has many more authentic recipes. 😊👍
If you use 4 cups of rice with 1 whole chicken, how much salt do you have to put? Could you tell me the measurements of the other ingredients aswel for 4 cups of rice. Thanks.
Hi there, keep all other ingredients the same other than the salt and water that goes in to cook the rice.
Total salt - 2.5 tablespoons
Water - 5 mugs
Let me know how you find the recipe 😊👍
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes
Thanks, will give it a try 👍
Really nice amazing taste.....good job.....I'm in china a cant get this anywhere
Be Amazed, thanks! You can now make it yourself 😊👍
Love your recipes and your channel. Our family used to do the same re washing meat before cooking however once I started medical school I learned that washing chicken spreads the campylobacter and other harmful bacteria that are present on raw chicken.
Washing will never remove these bacteria and the splashes of contaminated water land all over your kitchen sink and surrounding area.
This can lead to serious illness/food poisoning.
Done this today again smells great cooking 😊
That looks delicious. Out of curiosity does it make a difference if you put the pulao in the oven versus if you leave it on the stove in the lowest heat setting for 15 minutes or so ?
Hi there 😊
Thank you! In my opinion yes. The rice will cook even on a hob but I feel that because there is even distribution of heat in an oven, it cooks better and I guess doesn't catch at the bottom, which is sometimes more commonly done on a hob. Hope that helps.
Gas mark 185!
Hi Haider, no 185°c is for my fan assisted oven. If yours is gas then its gas mark 6
I'm going to make this dish tomorrow. I made your Lamb Pilau and it was amazing. I had been looking for a recipe for that dish since my friends mum made it for me years ago.
Richard, I hope you enjoy the end product as it truly is a very authentic, home style dish. Would love to hear how you got on. 😊
Thank you so much for this recipe! My husband is Pakistani and I wanted to surprise him so much! He loved it! ❤
This should be proper way of cooking biryani if anyone wants to get perfect taste of biryani. In Bangladesh we do in same process except we fry rice in ghee with and onion and garam masala and add required amount of water. Next step add cooked chicken and stir together. After a few minutes when whole mixture is thicken then put the lid on put in very slow gas and they taste super. But in abroad we can put in the oven. Thanks for showing in real way . Cooking them separately and mixing them together is a gulf of taste in biryani cooking . Although basmati rice is very soft if not careful rice gets mashed or broken..
I have never made pulao before and this made things so much easier! Thank you so much for making it so simple, my rice were cooked so perfectly and fluffy, I could not be happier, I did tweak it a bit, but, honestly so so so good Masha’Allah. 💕
Alhamdulilah Nawal, so happyto hear this! 😊👍
I always follow your recipes and no one cooks palou better than you do, I’ve even lost count on how many times I’ve made this.. 😍
So sweet 😊👍 bless! It's a great recipe☺
Thank you for this recipe, I picked it up 6 months ago and I have made it ever since. This is by far my favorite pilau recipe, and I will be cooking it today as well. Much appreciated!
Great to hear!
Masha’Allah great recipe and well explained.. Tried and rice was perfect. Do share a recipe on veg/meat lasagne x

It's my pleasure
Eid Mubarak! I made this today along with your chicken masala curry and crispy chicken tenders! My family said that i made everything perfect! You are a God send. Thank you for all your recipes ❤️
Khair Mubarak ros A, and Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones too! I hope you had a lovely day! I'm so happy that everyone enjoyed the food and in sha Allah you'll try more recipes! I have lots more to share.. 😊👍
Made again but with beef a big thumbs up
You have a 👋 heart ♥ coz you share your recipe others don't
how can you use cloth in the oven, it will burn!! i tried it and it burnt, can one use a cling film ?
Hi Catherine, thanks for your comment. Did you rinse the cloth under water and squeeze out the excess water before putting it in the oven? If you didn't do that, then that's the reason why the cloth burnt! You could replace the cloth with foil which works equally well. Hope that helps!
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes Hey, great, thank's so much, that's very kind of you.
Perfection on a plate indeed! Thank you for this recipe tried it today, followed exactly and turned out beautifully brown and delicious! X
Wonderful to hear this Rabia 😊
Just making this now! Loved your lamb pulaou recipe! So came back for this one!
Thank you for sharing this with me and I hope you enjoyed it just as much as the lamb one! 😊
Great recipe trying this now
Hi Shamza, just found your channel and I think its amazing. Great recipes! Quick Q. Instead of putting the pan in the oven, can I cook it on the hob? I guess you put it in the oven as the rice would cook better. Again, great channel and keep up the great work.
Yes you can! Just follow the tea towel step as normal and just put it on a low med flame for 15/20mins
what temp do you pre heat and what. temp do you keep when giving dam in oven
Besides your yummy recipes you are a fantastic teacher. Will surely try your pulluo recipe! Be well and prosper. I follow you from California I am so glad a British Pakistani puts up cooking in Pakistani style
Thank you so much!
Thank you! Amazing vid and easy to follow..glad you give clear instructions as someone like me dont know how to cook. For some reason mine came out abit soggy. 😢unsure why
Different brands of rice require slightly different amounts of water. Try using 1/2 cup less next time and see how you get on.
Your recipes are the best and very easy to follow
Turned out perfect first time thankyou so much. So easy to follow ;)
Thank you 😊
Made this last weekend and the rice came out amazing so thank you for all your tips xx
Hi Mairaaaa_xx, thank you for your comment. So pleased to hear that you enjoyed this recipe and you're welcome 😊
This was absolutely amazing! My new go to pilau recipe ❤️
Jacky, thank you so much for sharing this with me 😊 so happy to hear your enjoying this wonderful recipe 😀
I have an induction hob too, which pot is that that you are able to use both on the induction stove and in the over too?
Hi Fozia, my hob is ceramic one not induction and that is a cast iron pot. It's from the Cuisinart range, weighs a ton but is brilliant! I highly recomend it and its compatible with induction hobs too. Hope that helps! 😊
This is the best ever recipe online, highly recommend it. If i can cook this any one can - fyi I have never cooked anything before, first attempt it was absolutely amazing. Thank you 🙏
Great to hear this! Well done you and thanks 😊👍
