Chicken Keema Pulao (Spicy Ground Chicken Rice) Dry Spices: 2 tablespoons ghee or oil 3 cloves 4 green cardamom 1 black cardamom 1 inch cinnamon stick 1 bay leaves 6 green chilies split Powdered Spices: 1/4 tsp turmeric 1 tsp chili powder 1.5 tsp coriander powder 1.5 Priya chicken masala 1 tsp red chili flakes 1.5 tsp salt Other ingredients Handful of cashews 1.5 onions thinly sliced (prefer yellow) 2 tsp ginger and garlic paste or chopped 1 pound ground chicken 1.5 tbsp tomato paste Mint and cilantro leaves chopped (handful) Additional salt to taste 2.5 cups basmati rice rinsed and drained (after cleaning soak your rice for an hour) 5 cups of water (1 is to 2 ratio for basmati rice so you need 5 cups of water for the pulao) 1½ cups water Optional: Fried Onions Instructions: 1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat ghee. Add in your dry spices and let them roast until you can smell them in the air. The green chilies will get soft and roasted and that is a good indicator that your spices have roasted. 2. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions become translucent. Then add in your ginger and garlic paste and cashews. Cook until your onion mixture has turned almost golden brown.
