@@anitasguidetosimplecooking wow thank you so much. Its reminds me of weddings eating such nice food. Bless you
@@jkapoki1367 Dear J, Thank you. We used to go to the muslim weddings to eat the palao all thbe time, until a muslim chef who used to cook for muslim weddings in Fiji came to our house over 40 years ago and showed my Mum how they made their palao. That is how my Mum learnt it the proper way and thought me few years ago. Regards Anita.
Nice palao Fiji style with a cup of nice hot tea ☕️
Dear Paul, That sounds delicious. I am glad you liked my recipe. Regards Anita.
Bula Anita I did Cook your palao tonight comes out beautiful
reminds me of Trinidad Pelau! Looks so delicious - will try this!
Dear Danger, Hope you enjoy this recipe. Regards Anita.
I tried this last week and a hint of soy sauce actually worked out great. Even with brown onions my pulau never had that dark colour and was a bit blend as i might have been lacking on all the masala but following your ingredients it came out perfect.
Dear Max, I am glad to hear that your palao has turned out great and my video was helpful for you. regards Anita.
Flavor was delish! Could not even taste the soy sauce. Thank you for sharing recipe from our Motherland!
Dear Jenn, You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed this recipe. Keep safe. Regards Anita.

Thank you so much Anita Ji, I followed your recipe and my palao came out so good! The color was on point, and the rice came out perfect not mushy. Let's just say my family were licking their fingers haha.
Dear Anisha, You are welcome. Glad to help. Thank you for watching my video. Regards Anita.
One of the easiest, well-explained videos I've seen. Can you use anything else besides butter?
Dear Tharo, Thank you. You can use ghee or you can omit the butter completely. Regards Anita.
Tried this recipe sis very yummy thanks for sharing.
Dear Amali, You are welcome. Glad your palao turned out yummy. Regards Anita.
This was second time I tried to make palao , as its my eldest son Ricks fav indian dish with tomatoe chutney, first attempt was unsuccessful, but second time I tried your receipe chef Anita it came out delicious , so happy I didnt give up , please keep uploading the yummy recipes thanks again xo
Dear Amali, Glad to hear that your palao turned out great and that you did not give up. Hope Rick enjoyed the palao as well. Regards Anita.
Anita this is wonderful I use this recipe all the time and it’s perfect. How would you change it if I wanted to replace chicken with lamb. Different durations / quantities / advice on cuts etc?
Dear Mattbrayau, I am glad you love my recipe. We also use lamb shanks or goat meat for making the palao . You can use any cut of lamb for this recipe. With lamb shanks, have it cut into curry size pieces and cook it a little bit longer until tender and the rest of the recipe is the same. Regards Anita.
Hi Anita, this recipe is great! I followed your recipe steps except that I cooked it all in the Instant Pot, at step 8 added only 3 cups of water and the butter, brought to a boil and then cancelled saute to high pressure for 6 minutes and then warm for 10 minutes, quick release and then stirred gently, added the cilantro and served! It was a hit with my picky family!
Any chance you could post an authentic recipe for cabbage/gobhi curry? The quick stir-fry kind? I just can't seem to get it right, I'm not a good cook here and so any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks :)
Dear Ariel, good to hear that your family enjoyed this recipe. I have already uploaded cauliflower and egg curry . I will try to upload cabbage curry for you soon. I have a few different recipes for cabbage. Regards Anita.
Thank you - you're an excellent chef Anita!
Thanks very much Anita for this recipe. I tried it this evening for dinner and it turns out great and delicious. My family really enjoyed it❤😅😊😅I didn't use butter, still it was delicious.
Dear Una, You are welcome. Good job. Glad to hear that your family enjoyed this recipe. Regards Anita.
Thanks so.much love
Dear AsiaCentury, You are welcome. Hope my video is helpful. Regards Anita.
Thank you for the recipe. I used lamb shank instead of chicken but came out good. I just had question in-regards to the rice part. Would it affect the consistency of the rice if I stir fry the raw rice first with some ghee and spices and then pour in the meat?
Thanks
Dear Amitesh, You are welcome. Hope you and your family are well and keeping safe. My Mum also uses lamb shank to make her palao as well. You can try and see, that is the beauty about any recipes is that you can always change it to suit our taste buds. Let me know how it turns out. Regards Anita.
I tried this recipe and it was delicious. I used lamb though. Please tell me reason why you put soy sauce.
. Thanks
Dear Evelyn, My Mum makes palao using lamb shanks and goat meat as well. It is delicious. Soya sauce is added for that lovely brown colour otherwise the palao has a dull brown colour and does not look very appetising. Regards Anita.
I’ve used this recipe multiple times and each time is perfection. Thanks for an easy recipe
Dear Privy, You are welcome. It is good to hear that my recipe was helpful. Regards Anita.
nice video! can you please link the video to make pilau masala? also I think we have exactly the same pot - aldi?
Dear Ravi, Thank You. I will put up the video for the palao masala soon and will let you know as soon as I do. We do have the same pot. This pot is great for making palao because nothing gets stuck to the bottom of the pan. Regards Anita.
Dear Ravi, I have just uploaded my video on how to make palao masala. Regards Anita
Fiji pulau is the best
Dear Khushi, Thank you. Keep safe . Regards Anita.
👍
Dear Fedy, Thank you for watching my video. Regards Anita.

and how does it look like
Dear Aliti, If you scroll down the page, I have already listed the ingredients needed to make the palao and if you want the recipe for homemade palao masala , I have also put the link below as well. Regards Anita.
What ride do u use in fiji aunty for palao?
Dear Daizy, In Fiji Mum used long grain rice but in Australia we have been using Jasmin rice, long grain rice and sometimes basmati rice. Regards Anita.
very clear explanations, food looks amazing. Thank you for your channel!
Dear Shivani, You are most welcome. I am glad you love my videos. Regards Anita.
Hi..can u show us how to make veg palau ❤❤❤❤❤
Dear Stephanie, I will try to upload it as soon as I can. Regards Anita.
Thank you Anita, came across your channel while quarantining. Bought a lot of dried split peas, chick peas and other dried beans while in quarantine and need some tasty Fiji dahl recipes to cook it. I have now subscribed to your channel, Vinaka bainee 👍🏽🇫🇯🙏🏽
Dear Vete, You are welcome. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. Hope you and your family are well and keeping safe. If you interested, I have already uploaded videos on how to make dhal, step by step roti, lentil fritter and simple recipes that can help us during the quarantine and lock down. Regards Anita.
Anita can I use the same quantity of lamb on this recipe or will it require more time to cook?
Dear Leba, Yes you can use lamb. My Mum uses lamb shanks to make her palao. Let me know how it turns out. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking so the cooking time will be the same if I use lamb shank?
Dear Leba, First you will have to cook your lamb shank until tender before adding the rice. To cut the cooking time you can always cook the shanks in the pressure cooker first. Just a suggestion. Regards Anita.
Thanks
Dear Rukesh, You are welcome. Regards Anita.
Is there a particular brand of rice that we need to use for this dish??
Dear Olex, To make palao, you can use any rice of your choice. I like to use Jasmine rice because my palao to be moist. Keep safe. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking
Thanks for your response..
I'm making this today, will let you know how it goes 😊
Dear Susanafox, Hope you enjoy it. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking It turned out so good. Very tasty. I'm keeping this recipe. Thankyou.
Dear Susanafox, You are welcome. I am glad to hear that my recipe was helpful and your chicken palao turned out tasty. Regards Anita.
Would this recipe work with lamb?
Dear Krishneel, Yes, definitely. You can replace chicken with lamb or goat or beef as well. Regards Anita.
What rice do you use ?
Dear Suzie, I always use Jasmine rice.. You can also use long grain rice as well. I find Basmati rice a bit dry in the palao. Keep safe. Regards Anita.
Made this today, it was really, really nice. I will add this to my weekly menu 👌 😆
Dear ILJ, I am glad to hear that you enjoyed my recipe. Regards Anita.
Thank you Aunty ❤️
Dear E B, You are welcome. Regards Anita.
Hi can you use any type of chicken example thigh fillet or breast? Thanks
Dear Don, You are welcome. Yes, you can use thigh fillet, chicken breast, lamb shank, boiled eggs or any meat of your choice. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking thank you very much your videos are very helpful! 😁🙏🏽
Why do you use soy sauce for cooking chicken Palao?
Dear Nita, Just to give the palao a nice brown colour , I use soy sauce. It is my family recipe. You can always omit soy sauce if you like. Regards Anita.
Hi Anita! I didn't think of that. I appreciate that it is your family's recipe. The brown color for a palao should really come from onions. The general rule is to slowly saute 2 large onions slowly for a long time for color and flavor.
Dear Nita, Thank you. When it comes to cooking, I love any cooking tips and advice I can get. I understand that there are so many different recipes for chicken palao, by slowly cooking the onion for a long time for colour and flavor will completely change the taste of the chicken palao. The flavor for the chicken palao in my recipe comes from the palao masala. As with any recipe, one can always change the ingredients and cooking method to suit one's individual's taste. My Mum cooks her onion for the palao to a darker brown colour compared to mine. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking
Can you tell me how to make Palau masala at home... Will appreciate it a lot... Thank you
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking I mean the ingredients to make the masala
Can i use garam masala in lieu of pulao masala?
Dear 2tharo, You will need palao masala for this recipe which I have already uploaded in my channel. You can also buy it from any Indian shop as well. Regards Anita.
You r sweet madam
Dear ranikalakaar, Thank you. Regards Anita.
What kind of rice have u used to make palau?
Dear Fiza, I have used Jasmine rice, but you can use any rice of your choice. Regards Anita.
Thank you looks so good
Dear Fiza, You are welcome. Regards Anita.
Looks good, except i don't know about soy sauce in Fiji pulao. It's unheard of. Thanks for the video
Dear moez, Soya sauce is added for the colour. It does not change the flavour at all. This is how my family has been making palao in Fiji for a very long time. You can change the recipe according to your own taste. There are so many different types of palao recipes in Fiji. All I have done is shown the recipe that I follow, that has been in my family for a very long time. You just have to find one that you are happy with and stick to that recipe. Regards Anita.
