Green Rice

Green rice is some light and awesome Pakistani rice recipe with vegetables and chicken. all ingredients are healthy and by combining gives a very nice aroma to these rice that highlights your appetite while you are cooking it and a fine light green color that gives a yummy look to it. this recipe is by a famous Pakistani chef Zubaida Tariq well known to people as Zubaida apa. the tribute of nice and natural flavored foods goes to her.

You can assume by the yummy look of green rice in the image below that how much delicious they are, absolutely you are convinced to try it immediately. so note the ingredients, collect them and start cooking according to the instruction below..


you need to soak rice in Luke warm water for at least 1 hour and if you are using Shiloh rice than you have to soak them for minimum 3-4 hours, as more as soaked will give good results. by the way i don't recommend Shiloh rice for cooking delightful green rice, they tastes and smells yummy if cooked with basmati rice of best quality.
no need to use more spices because it is a good feature of this recipe that it tastes more delicious if cooked with the ingredient given below only. no need to add hot spices or red chilli or any other. its taste will be lost if you do so..
Take chicken and rice equal in quantity and do not dry the chicken while cooking. it should be some juicy so that rice will taste best. let me mention the reason of its name. why it is called green rice?? absolutely answer is same that you are thinking right now. this delicious recipe is named green rice because its main ingredients are green in color like coriander, mint and green chilli. these are the main characters of this yummy food recipe. mostly recipes are named according to their look taste or the person who has introduced the recipe. and name of this recipe is according to its color means its nice look.
Best thing that i like in this recipe is what it gets ready in very short time and ingredient are easy to collect, no need to search out  deeply in famous markets, you can collect all from an ordinary shop or may be they are already present at home. it takes very short time to get ready to serve and i am sure that if you will serve it to your guests you will get more appreciation than you expect ever, even must serve it to those friends who get jealous from you, than see the result!
