[email protected]I was disappointed with this pelau. The rice was overcooked and the chicken was dry. The sauce was also bland and lacked flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

[email protected]This pelau was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was a good dish. The rice was cooked perfectly and the chicken was tender and juicy. I think I would try making it again with less pepper next time.
