Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I make it quite often, and everyone loves it.
I follow the recipe religiously, so I'm not too sure if I have to double the spices for 1kg chicken: 1kg basmati rice? Another question I have is for how long do I keep the 1kg rice on tawa?
Could you kindly let me know ?
Thank you.
