- 1 tablespoon Ginger(freshly grated)

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with sliced onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken pieces on all sides until golden brown. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- 3
Add the marinated onions and any remaining marinade from the bowl to the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
Return the seared chicken to the pot with the onions. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- 5
While the chicken is simmering, cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork when done.

Once the chicken is cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the chicken and onion mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
💡 Professionelle Tips
- ✓For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
