Sometimes, you just want to get away from the hoohaas and settle down with something simple and wholesome – like this Tomato Pulao. Most Fridays, our meals have comprised of anything and everything from being fancy to exotic. But today, I just felt like taking things easy. With the thick blanket of snow outside, I just wanted to cuddle on my couch, watch a good movie and have a simple and satisfying meal. And there’s nothing simpler I can think of than a big bowl of warm flavoured rice, with a side of some delicious crispy chicken! So I texted Hubby Dear to pick up a bucket of our favourite fried chicken from the nearest KFC outlet on his way home and I got to work in my kitchen. Knowing that KFC chicken is real, Canadian, farm-raised chicken, made me feel good about serving it at my dinner table.

This Tomato Pulao took our fried chicken dinner to a whole new level.

It hardly takes any time and effort, but yet still feels like a meal fit for royalty. Throw in a fresh side salad, and you have a quick, wholesome and not to mention, a finger-lickin’ good Friday night meal. If you like this recipe, you will surely like my Peas Pulao.
