Chicken Kabsa
Ingredients
450gm half chicken
200gm golden sella basmati rice
1TB oil
1 medium sliced onion
1TB ginger garlic paste
1 medium chopped tomato
1TB kabsa spice (see notes)
1 loomi (dried lemon)
Salt
700ml water
Notes ?
I used kabsa spice mix that we get at our local supermarket. If you don’t have/get make it as below by lightly dry roasting and grinding to a fine powder
1/2tsp cumin seeds
1TB coriander seeds
2-3 black pepper corn
3 cloves
2 green cardamom
1/4 inch cinnamon stick
1/2 star anise
– I had soaked sella rice for 2hrs.
– From 700ml water to boil chicken, I had roughly 500ml broth. I used my estimation by sight. If you aren’t sure, you may measure stock as per the rice you are using
– I cooked rice for 15min high or until almost all water was absorbed. Then add fried carrot and dry fruits (see end notes) and cooked on Dum for 10 odd mins
– Chicken was broiled at 160C preheated for 22min. By this time I had a nice brown texture
I fried 1 large grated carrots, raisins and some cashews in ghee that was added to rice
