Mughboob shahi murgh

[Pongi]

Hi all!

Oops...I must have pressed the wrong key

I was saying that recently I tried a recipe of Mughboob shahi murgh which intrigued me a lot, but wasn't fully satisfied of the result. It tasted nice, but the rice turned out overcooked, so I was wondering whether it's expected or not. I made the filling with the basmati rice I generally use for birianis, could be a rice with a longer cooking time more suitable for this recipe?

Another question. I was considering the possibility to use a boned chicken instead of a whole one, suppose it's not traditional but do you think it could be acceptable?

Also other good and tested recipes would be appreciated.

TIA!

Whats a Mughboob shahi murgh ?

It's possible we know it by a different name.

[Pongi]

According to a book I have (which is hopefully reliable, having been written by an Indian) Mughboob shahi murgh is a whole chicken, stuffed with biriani rice and baked. All the recipes of this book are supposed to be traditional, but since I tried to google up the name of this dish and haven't found anything it's likely that it's known with another name.

Any inputs?

Okay, it's Muqbool Shahi Murgh.

Did you bake the whole stuffed chicken or pan cooked it?

[Pongi]

Episure, you're right, also in my recipe chicken is supposed to be pan cooked. I was wrong because I tried a first time this way and a second time baking it, just because the first time the rice turned out overcooked. Unfortunately, this happened also the second time

Any advice?
