Healthy chicken vegetable pulao recipe.

Chicken pulao with the goodness of vegetables and spinach. Compared to other rice dishes, pulao is more healthy because we can add vegetables,spinach,mutton etc…. I have also added soya chunks which makes this dish more protein rich. You can also add dry fruits like raisins,nuts,badam etc… In this chicken pulao, I cooked chicken with pepper and salt and then cooked rice along with vegetables and masala. I would like to share some of my healthy rice like
