MY NOTES

I use always frozen chicken leg pieces/wings in my cooking.You can replace it with Chopped bone chicken...For  this recipe can use approx-350 gms of chicken........

Marination part is optional...If you don`t have time can cook directly by adding spices to chicken and continue with rice.......

Adding coconut milk also gives a nice flavour.So,minus the water level and plus the coconut milk.....It`s your choice.....

After having the pulav/biriyanis drink a glass of buttermilk.It Helps in digestion.......
