Ingredients: • 2 cans (450g each) chickpeas (drained and rinsed) • 1 can (450g) diced tomatoes • 2 ¾ cups basmati rice (soaked for at least 1 hour) • 1 large or 2 medium onions (thinly sliced) • 6 green chilies (3 chopped, 3 whole with a small slit) • 2 ½ to 3 tbsp ginger garlic paste • ½ to ¾ cup oil (for frying onions) • 1 liter water (adjust as needed – use double the amount of rice) • Fresh coriander (chopped, for garnish) Whole Garam Masala: • 1 cinnamon stick • 3-4 green cardamoms • 1 tsp cumin seeds (zeera) • 4-5 cloves • 2 bay leaves Ground Spices: • ½ tbsp cumin powder • ½ tbsp coriander powder • ½ tsp garam masala powder (plus extra for garnish) • 1 tsp black pepper • 2 chicken stock cubes • Salt to taste Instructions: 1️⃣ Fry the Onions: Heat ½ to ¾ cup oil in a pot and fry thinly sliced onions until golden brown. 2️⃣ Add Ginger Garlic & Whole Spices: Once the onions are browned, add ginger garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the whole garam masala and stir for a few seconds. 3️⃣ Cook the Tomatoes & Spices: Add the diced tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Then, mix in the black pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Stir well. 4️⃣ Add Chicken Stock Cubes & Chickpeas: Crumble in 2 chicken stock cubes, mix well, and then add the chickpeas. Cook for a few more minutes. 5️⃣ Add Soaked Rice & Water: Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot. Pour in 1 liter of water (double the amount of rice). 6️⃣ Adjust Salt: Taste and adjust salt at this stage. Since the stock cubes contain salt, start with ½ tsp salt and add more if needed. 7️⃣ Final Seasoning & Simmer: When the water reduces to the level of the rice, add chopped coriander, 3 whole green chilies, and a sprinkle of garam masala. Cover with a lid and let it cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked. 8️⃣ Fluff & Serve: Once done, gently fluff the rice and serve hot! Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your Degi Chana Pulao with roasted chicken, raita, salad, or pickles for a complete meal. 📌 If you enjoyed this recipe, don’t forget to: ✅ LIKE this video ✅ SHARE with family & friends ✅ SUBSCRIBE for more delicious recipes!
