I thought I deglazed the pot properly and there was enough water in it, but I guess not. Sigh.

It’s strange because I’ve made the chicken biryani version of this several times before and everything turned out fine.

It calls to add the rice layer after all the vegetables. My rice didn't cook and the rest got burnt. Disappointed!

Thank you, Urvashi, for all your great recipes!

We made this for dinner tonight and it took my husband back to the days he was working in Lahore. His tummy was so happy. 🙂 We used whole spices, and because we're in Brazil we used coalho cheese. Thank you so much for this recipe!

I have never doubled it but I am quite sure others in the Facebook group have, so may be worth asking in there? I would hate to guess and have you waste ingredients

I only have the one pot... or I guess i can make it twice and leave it to be reaheated in the oven/microwave) but am scared that would overcook the rice

I’d make in two batches actually.

Made it once without any garam masala (for kids) and it was perfect. I’ve never had pulao turn out this well. However, the bottom had an inch of rice that wasn’t easy to fluff. It was lumpy. Anything I can change to fix it? Also, I now need to triple the recipe. Would you recommend I make it in two batches or all at once in a 6qt instant pot?
