Which Rice to use for Chicken Pulao best?
I use long Basmati Rice to make my Chicken Pulao, too, as they are aromatic and turn out fluffy and separate. But it is optional; you can make this pulao in any rice that you have handy.
On the other hand, you can use other healthy alternatives such as Couscous, Brown Rice, Broken wheat instead of white rice to make this tasty Chicken Pulao.
Can you use Mutton or other meat to make this Pulao?
Why not. If Mutton loves you and uses Mutton instead of Chicken to make the Pulao, the cooking time will differ because Mutton can take longer than Chicken to cook.
Even, you can use fish or egg instead of chicken in this recipe.
