The best part about this tawa chicken pulao recipe is that you do not need many exotic ingredients. In fact, it is one ingenious way in which you can use up last night's leftover chicken curry and rice. Other main ingredients of the dish are ginger, garlic, mint leaves, fried onions, salt for taste and coriander for garnish. There is no need to add additional spices to the rice dish since you have already added a good amount in the chicken curry. However, if you want to give your pulao a hot edge, extra 1-2 chopped green chillies would not harm.
