Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a pan & fry onions till they turn golden brown.
  2. Add cardamom pods (bari elaichi), cloves (laung), cinammon sticks (dalchini), cumin seeds (zeera) in the onions & stir for about 10 seconds. Then add ginger/garlic paste (lehsan adrak), 2 teaspoons salt and red chili powder & stir fry on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Next add yogurt & chickpeas/garbanzos & cook on medium high till the yogurt water dries up.
  4. Now add garam masala powder & anise seed (saunf) powder & cover & cook for 2 minutes on medium low heat. (Its THESE two ingredients which make this pulao very different then the usual pulaos you might have eaten so far.
  5. Finally add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, rice & the water & cook it uncovered on high heat for 7 minutes or till the water dries up.
  6. Cover the pan & close the lid tightly making sure no steam passes out & cook on low heat for 15 minutes or till the rice is done.
  7. Serve it your favorite chutney or raita.
  8. Although my family likes raita with this pulao I love it with this /276267 Chutney.
