1. 1

   In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil over medium-high heat. Add the quartered onion and chicken pieces. Brown the chicken on all sides.

2. 2

   Add 7 cups of water, chicken bouillon cubes, ground allspice, black pepper, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

3. 3

   While the chicken simmers, fry the diced potatoes and carrots in a separate pan with 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil until lightly golden. Set aside.

4. 4

   Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and set aside. Strain the broth into a bowl, discarding the onion and any solids. You should have about 4 cups of broth.

5. 5

   Return the strained broth to the pot. Add the rinsed and soaked basmati rice, saffron water, and green peas. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

   In a small pan, fry the slivered almonds in a little oil until golden brown. In the same pan, fry the raisins until they puff up slightly. Set aside.

   Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the cooked chicken, fried potatoes, and carrots. Cover and let it steam for another 5 minutes.
