What goes into it
These numbers are worked out from a typical restaurant recipe, with the generous oil, butter and cream restaurants use, so one restaurant's version may differ. This version uses:
- Rice (white, raw): 120 g
- Chicken (skinless, raw): 150 g
- Onion: 60 g
- Cooking oil: 25 g
- Ghee: 15 g
- Curd (whole milk): 30 g
It finishes at about 500 g once cooked. One restaurant plate, with fried onions and ghee. Sharing it, or leaving the extra gravy, is the easiest way to eat less of the fat.
