Cook the chicken: In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat ghee and add whole spices (bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, green cardamom, black cardamom, cloves). Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Layer and cook the pulao: Add the drained rice to the pot with the chicken. Gently mix. Pour in the hot water, hot milk, and kewra water. Ensure the liquid level is just above the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
