👨🍳 步驟

Rinse the basmati rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain well before cooking.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and sear them on all sides until lightly browned.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 5
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, Baharat spice mix, and turmeric powder. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and dried limes. Pour in about 4 cups of water, enough to cover the chicken. Season with salt.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes💡 專業提示: Do not lift the lid during this time. - 11
While the rice is cooking, you can lightly pan-fry or broil the cooked chicken pieces until golden brown for extra texture.
