👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and turmeric. In a large pot, brown the chicken pieces in a little oil until golden on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, sauté the sliced onion until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken broth, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- 4
While the broth simmers, fry the eggplant, potatoes, and cauliflower florets in vegetable oil until golden brown and tender. Drain on paper towels.
- 5
Drain the soaked rice. Layer the fried vegetables and sliced tomatoes over the chicken in the pot. Top with the drained rice.
- 6
Carefully pour the simmering broth over the rice, ensuring it covers the rice by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
- 7
Let the pot rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Place a large serving platter over the pot and carefully invert the pot to release the maqluba onto the platter.
- 8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
