Chicken Plov or Pilaf

Hi friends today I have come up with a recipe which is a traditional food of Uzbekistan. It is some kind of national dish in most of these Central Asian countries . Even in Tussia it is a very popular dish,It is similar to our chicken pulao but slightly different. Usually they make it with beef or lamb but since I am more of a chicken lover I will share the chicken version. It is very easy to make and very delicious to eat . So let’s start the recipe .

Ingredients:-

Rice - 3 cups (approx 750 gm)

Chicken - 1 kg

Carrot - 500 gms chopped long and 1 cm thick

Onion - 250 gms finely chopped

Garlic - 1 whole only remove the outer layer

Cumin powder-1 tbsp

Coriander powder 1 tbsp

Pepper powder -11/2 tbsp

Add the carrot and stir it till it softened . Add cumin , coriander and pepper powder. Add the water . Put the whole garlic into it . Add salt and sugar . Cover it with a lid. Let it simmer for 30 mins in low heat .

Then first remove the whole garlic and add the washed well drained rice in it . Cover the lid with a thick towel and cover the pan with it . This way the moisture and flavour won’t escape from the pan . After 15 mins remove the lid and check it . If all water has evaporated your dish is done . Make a hole in the middle put the whole garlic in it and cover it , Remove it from gas and your dish is ready,
