Tandoori Chicken Pulao

Today I'm going to share a traditional Pakistani recipe called Tandoori Chicken Pulao. Before I get started, let me explain what is tandoori chicken?. Tandoori chicken is a chicken dish produced by roasting chicken that has been marinated in yogurt and spices before being cooked. It can be prepared on a stove nowadays, but it was traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven. The dish originated on the Indian subcontinent and is now popular all over the world. Historians claim to have unearthed the first signs of a meat meal that resembled Tandoori Chicken in the ruins of Harappa.
We can prepare different kind of recipes with tandoori chicken like I made Tandoori chicken pulao.

Let's start the recipe;
