Best Pilaf For A Curry Banquet Recipes
INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY PILAF
Make this only if you are a lover of curry, you can adjust the amount of curry to suit taste, if you prefer lots of heat then add in cayenne pepper. For this recipe make certain that the onions are browned, this will take about 15-20 minutes or a little longer. Chicken breast can use used in place of thighs, also you really can use as much chicken as desired, long-grain white rice can be used in place of basmati, but it will not be as good, I like to use mixed frozen diced veggies in place of the peas, but that is only optional. Use 2 cups less 2 tablespoons of water or if you prefer a very soft rice use 2 cups water. For the best flavor use a good-quality Indian curry powder.
