👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
2
Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant.
4
Return the chicken to the pot. Add chicken broth, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
5
Stir in the rinsed basmati rice. Ensure the rice is submerged in the liquid. Bring back to a simmer, cover tightly, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6
While the rice is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce: In a bowl, whisk together plain yogurt and lemon juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt.
7
Once the rice and chicken are cooked, remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve the chicken and rice hot, topped with the spiced yogurt sauce, chopped fresh mint, and toasted almonds.
