Yakhni Gosht Pulao is one of the very best dishes from Kashmiri cuisine. The rich, aromatic rice is packed with flavors; thanks to the tender meat cooked along with rice. Yakhni means stock or soup. The rice is cooked in this yakhni and needless to say how appetizing the end result would be. This dish is generally made with mutton, but you can also substitute with chicken or vegetables.

It’s more of a classic traditional dish made on special occasions and festivals. There are many methods of preparing Yakhni Pulao. You either dry roast the spices and marinate the meat before cooking it or you cook the meat along with the spices. For preparing this scrumptious pulao, use long grained basmati rice and serve hot with any raita of your choice.

Chef says:

The original Yakhni Gosht Pulao doesn’t call for adding vegetables. But I love some color in my pulao and has added 1/4 cup each of skinned potatoes and carrots. You can also add green peas for that pop of color.

Yakhni Pulao will be a little mushy. But trust me, it isn’t overcooked and the flavor pops right out of the dish.

    I’d only heard of this until now. Never tried it, never even seen pictures. Packed with flavor, by the looks of it. If I try this, I think I’ll probably use chicken. Not a big fan of mutton

    I wasn’t aware of the meaning of the word ‘yakhni’… while i have seen it on some menus, didn’t know it was this. This would actually taste delicious, I feel.
