Yakhni Pulao in Crock-Pot recipe by morEwish

I think Crock-Pot is one of those gadgets which is must for every kitchen. If you are working or going out to run errands, just dump your ingredients in Crock-Pot and you will come back to a amazing dinner waiting for you!

Yakhni Pulao is an aromatic rice dish where the rice is cooked in a meaty broth. Simple and comforting! You can use any meat like beef, mutton or chicken, I used Veal today..  Some days just call for Yakhni Pulao. Warm and delicious, it's great for the soul on cold fall days and goes perfect with some raita and salad!

My cousin Uzma baji made me realize that there are very few Desi/Pakistani recipes developed for Crock-pot. I started testing desi recipes in crockpot and after trial and error I came up with lot more crockpot recipes including this Yakhni pulao. This time I just made stock/yakhni in crockpot but I will be sharing how to make rice in crockpot soon inshAllah. And I have lot more other desi recipes coming soon too!
