Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter or heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the grated onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the cooked onion from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the curry powder and fry briefly until fragrant and darkened, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
  6. Return the sautéed onion to the pan.
  7. Pour in the chicken stock and pineapple juice, stirring to combine.
  8. Add the raisins, chopped pistachios, and long-grain rice to the liquid mixture.
  9. Season with salt and stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  10. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  11. Check the rice; it should be partially cooked but still firm in the center.
  12. Drain off any remaining liquid using a colander, reserving the liquid if desired for other uses.
  13. Allow the pulao to cool slightly before using it to stuff chicken or poultry.
  14. This quantity is sufficient to stuff one large chicken or two smaller ones.
