Ingredients
  • 2 lb salmon
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • ¼ cup onion paste
  • 1 table spoon coriander powder
  • ⅓ cup yogurt
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 pieces cinnamon, about 1” each
  • 3-4 green chilies
  • 2 cups basmati rice
Instructions
  1. Wash fish pieces and drain all water. Sprinkle some turmeric and red chili powder and mix.
  2. Wash rice and drain all the water.
  3. Turn on stove and add oil in a pan. Add ginger paste, garlic paste, and onion paste. Stir for 1-2 minutes. Add ¼ cups water and stir for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add coriander powder, yogurt, sugar, and salt. Combine the spices and add the fish pieces.
  5. When the oil separates from the fish pieces and water almost dries up, take out the fish pieces leaving the spice mix. Set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add rice and all other ingredients. Fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Add 3 cups hot water to the rice and cover. When water starts to bubble in the rice, lower the heat to medium low.
  8. Turn off stove when rice is cooked, in about 20-22 minutes.
  9. Take out half the rice from the pan and arrange the fish pieces on rice. Add the set aside rice and cover the pan again. Wait about 15 minutes for flavors to blend before serving.
Notes
You may adjust chilli flake and salt according to taste.
Shad fish can also be use instead of Salmon to cook this pulao.
