Dum Chicken Pulao
The rich cuisine of Hyderabad is a delicious mingling of South Asian, Persian, Turkic, and Arab cultures. Biryani, which is reputed to have come from the Persian culture, is one of the most famous dishes of that region. However, pulao, which usually refers to meat and rice cooked together in a pot, is a little simpler, can be even more delicious especially when made in the ‘dum’ (cooking under steam) style. It is a one-pot-wonder, aromatic yet not too spicy and the Chai Masala, which is slow cooked with the chicken and rice, suffuses the rice with its heady aroma.
This is a big recipe but do note that the pulao tastes even better the next day.
