Murghor Akhni

Murghor Akhni

Murghor Akhni is very similar to a Chicken Pulao, with a few differences. It is a very typical and common dish eaten in Sylhet but I believe it’s derived from the Pakistani Yakhni recipe. I’ve come to know that there’s several ways of cooking Murghor Akhni but this is the I’ve learnt to cook it from my amma.

Ingredients:

500g Chicken, small pieces
100g Brown Onion, finely sliced
