Murgh Pulao-Chicken Pulao

Murgh Pulao-Chicken Pulao

Murgh Pulao or Chicken Pulao is a delicious one-pot meal and this microwave version of the Pulao is quick on execution and saves lot of time. You can get done with the cooking in less than 30 mins. Did I hear you say, awesome?  Awesome it is!

It’s the month of Ramadan and we have been posting Ramadan recipes on our YouTube Channel to celebrate this holy month. While our last recipe was a soothing mocktail Virgin Pina Colada, this week we decided to share a one-pot wholesome meal that will keep you full for a longer time. One of the aspects of food blogging that I admire the most is designing the recipes as per the change in seasons and the festivals. India is a land of festivals. Festivals are the medium which brings us all together despite the diversity and the differences that exists in our society.

Festivals have more important role to play in today’s modernized world where the space for joint or extended family is shrinking and nuclear families are becoming more and more common. The festivals allow us to come together, laugh, rejoice, and share a positive relationship. Happy individuals could lead to formation of a happy and prosperous society.

Murgh Pulao-Chicken Pulao

Food and Festival is what brings us together from times immemorial. Just as communities and people are inseparable from festivals, food has an equally important role to play in these occasions. It’s hard to imagine these occasions without food.

While our Muslim friends celebrate Ramadan, I would want to join them in the feast with this recipe. There are quite a few more exciting recipes that are in pipeline that I will post until Eid al-Fitr.

Make this Chicken Pulao for your dinner and remember to share your experiences with us in comment section below.

Let’s go through this delicious Chicken Pulao.
