Rajahmundry Pulao with Mango Pickle

Here we’ve got a restaurant favourite of the region known as chicken pulao where, unlike a normal pilau, the rice and chicken are cooked separately and then assembled to order. On the side is a fiery mango pickle, a tangy dish of okra cooked in tamarind and a traditional South Indian salad known as kosambari - this time made with beetroot!
