Sweet Corn Chicken Pulav

This is a very tasty recipe that uses a lot of ingredients and requires a bit of an effort. But the final outcome is worth all your efforts. The blending of sweetcorn, chicken and egg makes every bite a delightful experience. It indeed is a dish fit for a king. I prefer my pulav to be lightly bathed in the gravy. But if you want your rice to be richly bathed in a thick gravy, then you need to increase the quantity of all ingredients.
