Rajahmundry Chicken Pulao with Mango Pickle
| Description | Rajahmundry is a major city in the state of Andhra Pradesh in southeastern India. The food of this region is famous for being hot and sour and is always accompanied by chutneys, pickles or a podi powder (made from dry-roasting various lentils, nuts, seeds and spices then grinding them up) to add at the table. Here we’ve got a restaurant favourite of the region known as chicken pulao where, unlike a normal pilau, the rice and chicken are cooked separately and then assembled to order. On the side is a fiery mango pickle, a tangy dish of okra cooked in tamarind and a traditional South Indian salad known as kosambari - this time made with beetroot! |

Wow! A feast for the eyes and belly. The mango pickle paired with the chicken pulao was a sweet spicy delight. We made extra onion bhaijis and parathas from other spicery recipes :) a perfect family dinner!
Fresh snow on the hills and a cold northerly outside, this warming autumnal feast hit the spot! Perfect blend of textures and flavours (and colours!). Delicious
Yum! This meal looks unbe-leaf-able and so cosy, perfect for Autumn evenings!
Enjoyed an evening outside with friends and we all loved the Rajahmundry, swapping out the chicken for some fish fillets as a pescatarian option and it was all delicious!
Great job adapting the recipe to make a pescatarian version - it looks like you had a fabulous evening dining al fresco, and we're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the meal!
My son Evan and I made this banquet for my wife Emma and daughter Izzie. Evan And I agreed that it was the tastiest meal from the Spicery as we really enjoyed every dish.
Great job, Craig and Evan - it sounds like you boys have got a perfect partnership going on in the kitchen! We're really pleased to hear that this meal went down a treat with the whole family, and that it stood out as your favourite Spicery meal (so far!)
Great Friday night curry night, not too hot and very very tasty. Beats any takeaway and little effort.
That all looks amazing, Paul - great work! So pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it.
Although it looks like a lot here, the receipt is easy to follow and was delicious. Would never of made this for myself normally but was really nice.
It looks like you did a brilliant job with this, Richard - we're really pleased to hear that this encouraged you to try something different, and that you really enjoyed the result!
Curry was excellent, so was the rice. Not sure on the okra but it was ok
Great to hear how much you loved the curry and the rice. Sorry that the okra wasn't your cup of tea, but glad that you enjoyed the meal on the whole!
One of the best curries so far. Okra delicious but the beetroot and mango pickle didn't add much.
We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the curry and the okra! The pickle is intended to add a bit of heat, and the beetroot kosambari some freshness and crunch, but we're sorry if you didn't find this!
Really like this curry which balanced the ingredients' flavours with a good spicy curry kick. Would rate the results better than some restaurant take-away curries we have had during lockdown. The mango pickle mix combined with the sweetness of the mango very effectively. The recipe suggests using an unripe mango - ours was much too unripe (but easy to peel thinly and separate from the stone!) but stewing it with some extra water and then reducing it rescued the situation perfectly.
We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the balance of flavours in this dish - who needs takeaways, ey? Great job thinking on your feet to resolve your mango situation too! Happy spicing!
Al fresco curry night! Rajahmundry chicken pulao with mango pickle, tamarind okra and beetroot kosambari. Served with spicery recipe onion bhajias, lamb samosas and naan. A lovely meal with fresh spicing enjoyed on a balmy evening.
Wow, what a feast - and how lovely to be able to enjoy it outside now that the weather is getting warmer! We are so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, and you get extra points from us for matching your shirt with the tablecloth - haha!
Amazing curry!!
Nice one, Imogen - we're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed it!
