Andhra chicken pulao or Kodi pulao is a scrumptious one pot meal made with fresh spices, cooked meats or sautéed vegetables with rice (uncooked rice) combined together until done.It's a great one-pot meal, and a delicious weekday alternative to your old meat and potatoes standby. Spice it up in the kitchen and switch it up with this delicious Indian dish!Kodi pulao is prepared with adding chicken with fine meat, rice and seasonings. Kodi pulao is akin to biriyani but is lighter and is not greasy. Kodi pulao is served hot at the lunch table and is a favoured Indian food. As tasty as a Biryani (special-ocassion rice and meat or veg dish) but far simpler and quicker to prepare.http://www.vahrehvah.com/andhra-chicken-pulaoingredients 8 piece cardamom500 grams Chicken Big pieces1 tsp chilli powder8 small piece cinnamon8 piece cloves1 small bunch coriander leaves1/4 cup coriander seeds1 fistfull 0 curry leaves1/2 cup Fresh coconut10 piece fried cashewnuts100 grams ghee & oil1 tbsp ginger garlic paste4 number green chillies3 - 4 limes lime juice1 bunch Mint leaves1 number onion sliced1/8 cup poppy seeds1 tbsp salt1/2 tsp turmeric100 grams yoghurtDirections Pulao masala: Broil Cinnamon and Cloves, add Coriander seeds and boil till they are hot and remove from flame.
