Chicken fi Har Rice – A simple alternative to Biryani or Kabsa

Chicken fi Har Rice

Chicken fi Har Rice is a simple alternative to making biryani or Kabsa. Combine the two and you have a totally different, but very tasty rice dish. This is a part of my ‘fi har series’ of recipes.

So I have mentioned earlier that I first came to know of Fish fi har from my sister… The effect of flame on grilled fish gives it a whole new ‘yum’ factor.  I added the same concept here with chicken. However, here, we add the smoked/flamed chicken to a simple gravy and add it over a light Biryani Rice / Ghee Rice or Pulao.  I have used the same method almost, for cooking the rice as in this older post.

The gravy is something my friend Safiya shared with me, from one of her experiments. I liked the addition of carrots and capsicum here. They both add a lot of flavors.  You will be surprised how tasty the carrots are in the gravy too! The smoked chicken lends its flavor to the gravy and the end result is definitely one that pleases the senses.

This rice is great with a side of Salata Hara and Garlic Sauce.
