One-Pot Ginger Chicken Pilau
My own fusion of Asian and Indian cuisine comprising of Rice and chicken cooked in a broth with spices. So easy and tasty, you'll want seconds. Serve a leafy salad alongside it with and optional chicken rice sauce of chillies and tomatoes blended with some lemon juice and salt.
Equipment
- Heavy Bottom caserole with heavy lid. Preferebly Cast Iron.
- Safe Grip holders or thick Oven Mits
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken medium
- 200 gm Basmati Rice
- 2 tbsp Pilau Spice Blend. half for the chicken marinade and half for the rice.
- 4 slices ginger.
- 2 slices fresh turmeric or 1/2 - 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 4 pods Garlic crushed
- 600 ml Water
- some parsley or coriander leaves for garnishing.
- salt to taste pepper or more spices to your liking. (optional)
- ½ Lemon Rind
Notes
Be very careful with handling your cast iron casserole as it is VERY heavy and hot. You need safe grip holders or thick oven gloves.
Serve with a leafy salad alongside too. If you’re feeding children, add some vegetable in the pilau itself. I usually add 1 large diced carrot and 1 large deseeded pepper. The vegetables are added in with the rice.
This Pilau goes well with any chicken rice sauce, curry or tomato gravy. I enjoy it though with just a mix of fresh red chillies and tomatoes blended with lemon juice and a little salt.
