Method:

To make Chicken:

•   Pressure cook the chicken, along with salt to taste, Pepper powder, turmeric powder and Ginger Garlic paste.
•    Once it is done, remove the bones and keep the boneless chicken pieces aside. We normally don't  add water for pressure cooking as chicken will let out water. If you are not making any gravy, you can cook the chicken to make it dry.

To make Rice:

Clean and soak rice for 15 mins. Cook the rice in a non stick pan with 4 & 1/2 cups of water. Once its cooked, remove and spread it on a plate so that you have each grain separate.

To make Veg Masala:

• Heat a Kadai . Add 2 tbsp of Oil, to this add cumin seeds. When it splutters add the ginger and  red pepper flakes and stir fry for 10 seconds or until fragrant.
•  Add chopped onions. Fry well, then add all the chopped vegetables. Sauté well with the flame high
• This dish requires the vegetables to be crisp and not over cooked .
• Then add salt and Soya sauce. Sauté well .. Add the pepper powder and adjust the salt.
•  Slowly add the cooked rice and add  the chicken pieces to the rice  and mix well.
•   Garnish with  some scrabled eggs.
