Yakhni Pulao is popular in Pakistan, but the first time I had it was in Maysoor (a state in India) it was served on a banana leaf with chutneys on the side.

The rice cooked in a homemade beef stock, so you can imagine the amazing flavor you will experience.

I'm going to be honest with you here, this dish will taste even better if cooked in Ghee (clarified butter) but I'm using olive oil here just to make it healthier.

    I like that you made the stock from scratch. This must be very fresh and full of flavours.

      It is, in fact it can be more flavorful if you use bones in the stock 🙂
