Hello everyone...today I want to share with you my chicken kebuli rice.This dish is my husband's favorite.I made an easy version of kebuli rice using ingredients I have at home.
I cook it using a rice cooker,so it's more practical because I can just do other household chores.Although simple,I find making kebuli rice quite time-consuming because there are so many ingredients and the cooking process is quite long.
This recipe is my usual one.I've recooked this kebuli rice recipe several times and it's quite delicious.The original recipe belongs to YouTube @CRCOOK.
I'll just show you all how I cook this kebuli rice, what ingredients I use,and the cooking process.But before I get into the kebuli rice recipe,I'll make some cucumber pickles to complement it.
