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