Shan Yakhni pulav masala

Yakhni pulav used to be one of my favorite dishes as a child. I saw the shan punjabi yakhni pulao masala and decided to try it out and it came out pretty good. I tried it with chicken instead of beef or mutton. All one needs to do is follow the instructions on the packet.

Theres a video on youtube for making yakhni pulav using shan yakhni pulav masala

The thing i did different was not strain out the spices from the stock but in hind sight i think it is better to strain out the spices. Personally, since i love the peppercorns i would put them back in. Definitely worth trying for first timers like me wanting to replicate the taste of yakhni pulav!

Maggi Authentic Chicken Curry Paste

We saw this paste at the Indian store and decided to try it out. It came out wonderful. Of course, my husband did a few more things like add one chopped onion, a dash of pepper powder and some madras curry powder. I loved the chicken curry and it was perfect with rotis
