    Notes

    • Serve hot with Onion Raita
    • You can also prepare chicken tikka in oven.
    • I used an Electric rice cooker for cooking the rice ,if cooking in pressure cooker ,After closing the cooker. Wait till the steam comes well and then put the whistles and then cook in high flame for 4 mins and then switch off the cooker. Wait till the pressure is released on its own and then open the cooker and fluff the rice.

      I am sure that chicken lovers would love it. It can be easily converted to a vegetarian dish substituting paneer / tofu.
