Today's recipe is yet another a very easy recipe and come under 30 minutes recipes. Its Chicken Keema Pulao or Rice. You have to just cook the minced chicken and rice together and it's done.  It is a perfect dish for any sudden guests arriving at your place. And you don't want to spend much time in the kitchen. There are many version of this recipe. But this is my take on it. 

In this recipe, I have cooked the minced chicken first with all the Indian spices. Once the chicken minced in cooked nicely Then I have added soaked and washed rice in the minced gravy. The amount of water should be exactly double than the quantity of rice. If you take 1 cup of rice then 2 cups of water will be needed to cook the rice with gravy.
People who do not eat non-vegetarian food can prepare it with soya mince granules following the same procedure.
