Note
# Original recipe by Dr.Lakshmi Nair follows cooking rice and chicken together from step 5.But when me and my SIL tried this recipe,we found it is not coming out well, either chicken is not properly cooked or rice is overcooked .So I modified it by cooking rice and chicken separately.It helps.
