Chicken
Pulav is a
one pot meal. It is very simple and quick to make. I am a great fan of Chef
Dhamodharan. I have learnt and cooked lots of his recipes and this is one among

The
main difference between Chicken pulav and Chicken biryani is pulav remains
white and the taste is from the green chillies and coconut milk. Pulav is comparatively
milder than biryani.
