Cheeni Kum Keema Pulao Recipe

on

Cheeni Kum is one of the gems of R.Balki and though food is not his prime subject in all his movies, it does get featured in most of them. Be it Shashi’s Ladoos in English Vinglish or Sujata tempering a sabzi in Guru, the food in his films looks delicious.

The Reference

In Cheeni Kum, one of the London-based chefs of Spice 6 can’t pronounce Keema Bhare Saalan Murgh Ka Pulao and while Buddha tells him to learn the pronunciation of the dishes right before he can take the order. Meanwhile we decided to binge on our version of Keema Pulao.
