yakhni pulao recipe | vegetable yakhni pilaf | veg yakhni pulao with step by step photo and video recipe. unlike other pulao recipes, yakhni pilaf recipes are prepared with a different techniques and methods. the main ingredient for yakhni recipes is the broth or stock which is used to boil and cook the rice / vegetables. in addition a choice of meat is added while boiling, however in this recipe i have only vegetables with veg stock for not meat eaters.
it is perhaps one of the popular rice recipe from north india cuisine and also from pakistan. yakhni pulao is one of the delicacy awadhi cuisine which is native to lukhnow, uttar pradesh. it is very popular among the native mulsim community of lukhnow and is a must rice recipe with their celebration feast. in addition it is also a popular pilaf recipe in kashmiri cuisine and is mainly prepared with chicken stock. the rice, spices and vegetables are cooked and boiled in a choice of stock which makes it flavorful and full of aroma. yakhni pilaf is even compared with the traditional lukhnowi biryani recipe and you may find some argument about the similarity. but i personally believe that both are totally different recipes with biryani more stronger on spices.
while the recipe for yakhni pulao is extremely simple, yet some tips and recommendations for a perfect pilaf recipe. firstly, as i mentioned previously, yakhni pilaf is traditionally prepared with chicken stock and choice of meat. if you are comfortable with meat than feel free to use them. secondly, the quantity of stock or broth should be approximately 1:2 ratio of rice and stock. if you are running short of it, you can extend it by adding more water. lastly, i would heavily recommend to use soaked basmati rice for this recipe for best results. i had tried once with sona masuri and i wasn’t happy with the end result.
