Ugandan Asian Chicken Pilau

This delicious and unusual pilau was something totally new for us when it was cooked by Zainabu, a Spicery guest cook from Uganda.

All the flavour and colour comes from frying the onions until they’re really dark, and from the unexpected addition of black tea!

To make this recipe, you'll need:

HALDI BLEND: 2 tsp

JEERA BLEND: tsp

METHI BLEND: 4 tsp

MIRCHI BLEND: tsp
