PREPARATION

• Cook chicken in a vessel with enough water.  Add a pinch salt.
• Cook it for 10 minutes until chicken is half done in a very low flame.
• Keep the chicken and stock separately aside.
• In a pan cook potato for 5 minutes and keep it aside.
• Now take a pressure cooker and heat oil or ghee.
• Saute onions till golden brown and add ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, garam masala powder, tomato, tomato paste and chicken cube(optional).
• Add salt as required.
• Then add the cooked chicken to it and cook well until golden brown.
• Now pour the chicken stock water,  which is kept aside after cooking the chicken.(it should be 9 cups, as the rice is 5 cups).
• If the stock water is less, then add an extra amount of water required.
• When the water starts boiling,  add rice.
• Stir well.
• Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook on a medium-low flame for 1 whistle. Simmer after the first whistle and off the flame before the second whistle.
• When done, release the pressure after 2 minutes. Open the lid and mix gently.
• While serving, mix the cooked potatoes along with the rice and chicken(optional).
