Directions

  1. 1Finely dice an onion and grate a carrot.
  2. 2Add them to a pot with a touch of ghee.
  3. 3Then add the aromatics: cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cardamom pods, cloves, star anise.
  4. 4Add the spices: black pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder, paprika, chili powder, coriander powder, nutmeg powder, cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, cumin powder, turmeric.
  5. 5Add 2 tablespoons of tomato puree and a chicken stock cube.
  6. 6Add a pinch of salt.
  7. 7Toast everything for a couple of minutes.
  8. 8Add the chicken (halved for presentation).
  9. 9Add 2 cups of water and the zest of two oranges.
  10. 10Let the pot boil for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  11. 11Place the chicken on a baking tray, brush it with some of the stock, and broil it in the oven for a nice color.
  12. 12Wash and soak two cups of basmati rice in warm water for about 30 minutes.
  13. 13To make the daqoos, blend tomatoes, onion, chilies or bell pepper, garlic, lemon, fresh mint, coriander powder, cumin powder and salt into a chunky consistency.
  14. 14Once the rice has doubled in size, add the rice to the pot with 2 cups of water (or about a centimeter above the rice).
  15. 15Add the zest of another orange to release its oils on the rice.
  16. 16Let it boil for about 6 to 7 minutes. Once you see the rice blooming and soaking up the water, drop the heat to the lowest possible, cover, and let it cook for 20 minutes.
  17. 17If you want it to fluff up even more, keep the lid shut for another 20 minutes.
  18. 18After you switch off the heat, the rice will soak up all the steam back, making it even fluffier.
  19. 19Drop the rice on a serving plate and fluff it up a bit.
  20. 20Lay the chicken halves on their bed, garnish with optional nuts fried in authentic ghee, serve it with the daqoos and enjoy.
