Ingredients:
– 2 cups basmati rice
– 500g chicken, cut into pieces
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup cooking oil
– 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and bell peppers)
– 1/2 cup raisins
– 1/4 cup slivered almonds
– 2 tbsp tomato paste
– 1 tsp cumin seeds
– 1 tsp coriander powder
– 1 tsp garam masala
– 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
– Salt to taste
– 4 cups water
– Fresh cilantro for garnish
Recipe:
1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
2. In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove half of the onions and set aside for garnish.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides.
4. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the mixed vegetables, raisins, and slivered almonds to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the drained rice to the pot and gently mix to combine with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
7. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
8. Garnish the Chicken Kabuli Pulao with the reserved crispy onions and fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
