做法
- 煮 yakhni(汤底):大锅中放入鸡肉、水、一半洋葱、姜蒜泥、所有整粒香料和盐。小火炖 35 分钟,直到鸡肉软嫩、汤底香气深厚。
- 把鸡块捞出。汤用细纱布过滤入碗,丢弃香料渣与洋葱。留 800 毫升汤备用。
- 厚底锅中大火热酥油。下剩下的洋葱片煸 8 分钟至深金色。加入巴基斯坦抓饭香料粉煸 60 秒。
- 把煮好的鸡块与汤汁一起倒回锅中,翻拌使其裹上香料 4 分钟——鸡肉应当上色入味。
- 把泡好的米沥干下锅,轻轻翻拌 2 分钟,使每粒米都裹上酥油。
- 倒入预留的鸡汤——液面应高出米 1.5 厘米。下青辣椒。烧开后转最小火,盖盖蒸 18 分钟。再焖 10 分钟。用叉子轻拨米粒;米应粒粒分明,鸡块仍带骨。撒上炸红葱酥。配酸奶酱与绿酱(mint chutney)上桌。

文化背景
Yakhni 抓饭是比尔亚尼更斯文的表亲——巴基斯坦家庭日常吃抓饭,把比尔亚尼留给宴客。yakhni 工艺(先把香料熬成清汤,再用汤煮米)是它与比尔亚尼分层堆叠法的根本区别。各地有自己的 yakhni 偏好:拉合尔多胡椒,卡拉奇加干薄荷,白沙瓦多用整粒小豆蔻。它属于定义了次大陆西北部料理的莫卧儿—波斯米食传统。
