ABOUT Chicken Berry Pulao RECIPE

This is an Persian recipie. The main gist of the dish is the spices and berries that are added for flavour. I have used fresh whole spices and good quality saffron to give rich taste and aroma to rice. Of course a little generous use of ghee is the secret! I have used dried cranberries in this recipie.
