YAKNI PILAU (CHICKEN RICE)
This is the first dish I learnt as an adult and still it is my speciality... there's only one word to describe it... yum! When I'm cooking this for my husband and myself, I usually remove the legs whole, sprinkle them with spices and brown under grill, and then add the remaining chicken to the rice as per instructions.

Steps:
- Make a well-flavoured stock by simmering chicken in water to cover along with cardamom pods, peppercorns, 2 teaspoons salt and the onion stuck with cloves.
- Simmer for approximately 2 hours.
- Cool slightly, strain stock and measure out 4 cups.
- Remove meat from bones, cut into bite-size pieces and set aside.
- Wash rice thoroughly in water, drain in a colander and allow to dry for at least 1 hour (this is optional if you're in a hurry!).
- Heat ghee in a large pot and fry sliced onion until golden.
- Add saffron, garlic and ginger and fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add rice and fry 5 minutes longer over a moderate heat, stirring with a slotted metal spoon.
- Add hot stock, garam masala, cardamom, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, rose water, sultanas and reserved chicken pieces.
- Stir well.
- Cover pan tightly and cook over a very low heat for 20 minutes.
- Do not uncover pot or stir rice during cooking time.
- When rice is cooked, remove from heat and stand, uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Fluff up rice gently with a fork and place in dish, again using a slotted metal spoon.
- Garnish with almonds, peas and eggs.
