Categories     Chicken     Rice

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 22

¹⁄3 cup Oil or Butter
1 ½ kg chicken, with skin (preferred) - cut into large pieces (Keeping the skin on provides for a much more succulent and moist chicken - you may discard before eating)
1 Tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp black pepper powder
1 cup / 2 medium onion, chopped ( red or yellow onion)
½ cup garlic, finely chopped
1 " piece ginger, minced - optional
1 cup (2 Nos) tomatoes, diced
1 - 2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp Bahar / Baharat / Arabian Spices or Kabsa Spice ( see below for home made mix)
1 dried/black lime - LOOMI (Use grated lime zest if you cant find dried lime - Only the outer yellow skin. None of the white layer as this tends to be bitter)
4 cups basmati rice
6 ¼ cups chicken stock or water
4 tsp (approximately) - salt (less if using chicken stock)
As needed for garnish: Boiled, sliced eggs, fresh parsley/coriander, fried raisins, fresh lime etc.
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp red chilly flakes/powder
¹⁄4 tsp ground cloves
1⁄8 tsp cumin powder
(1 stick cinnamon, 5 cloves, 3 cardamom, 5 black pepper corns) Whole Spices for Rice: Optional: You may also add whole spice to the rice for added flavor. Add only if you dont mind picking the spices out later.

Steps:

  • Marinate the rinsed and drained chicken with coriander powder, chilli powder and black pepper powder (optionally you can add 2 Tbsp ginger-garlic paste to this). Set aside while other ingredients are prepped.
  • Combine the spice powders together for the Baharat (Spice Mix). And set aside the additional whole spices if you would like more spice.
  • Chop the onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
  • Heat the oil/butter in a medium pan (pan1) and saute the onion and garlic till softened. Add ginger if using.
  • Saute, adding some salt to draw out moisture.
  • Simultaneously: In another pan (pan2), heat some butter and fry the marinated chicken, just till crust is a pale golden color on both sides.
  • When the onions in (pan1 ) are nicely sautéed: (soft and golden), add the chopped tomatoes as well as tomato paste and cook till all moisture evaporates (The tomatoes are reduced to a pulp).
  • Add the Bahar/ Baharat spices (powdered), reserving some of the chilli flakes/powder for later.
  • Also, add the dried lime (loomi). Stir well.
  • Transfer the sauteed onion mixture from ( pan1) to a larger pot (pot1), (rice cooker pot is good).
  • Remove the golden chicken pieces from (pan2) (reserving the butter/oil in the pan used for frying the chicken for later.
  • Add these chicken pieces to (pot 1), over the sauteed onion mixture and continue cooking just for a minute, stirring gently till the chicken is nicely coated with the sauteed ingredients.
  • When the oil separates, add salt and stock(or water).
  • Bring to boil. Cover (pot1) with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes for chicken without skin / 20 minutes for chicken with skin. (Also Preheat oven to 180º C, now).
  • Remove the chicken pieces and two large ladles of the stock from (pot1) to the pan previously used for sautéing the onions (pan1).
  • (Pan1): Heat the chicken with this small amount of gravy, till the gravy evaporates, forming a thick sauce around the chicken (only 1-minute max - on high heat). You may like to add more tomato paste at this point if you like the flavor. Place the chicken pieces on baking tray.
  • Broil the chicken pieces in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at around 180º C. Baste with a tiny bit of butter. The skin should get a golden and crisp (not applicable for skinless chicken).
  • Reheat the butter left from frying the chicken in (pan 2). Fry the drained rice in this briefly, stirring to coat the grains evenly. (Add the whole spices under the Baharat spice mix to this rice if you would like to flavor the rice further - optional).
  • Add the rice to the pot of simmering gravy (pot1). Cover and cook till done (water runs dry).
  • Immediately, fluff up the rice with a fork, adding a little butter if desired.
  • Squeeze a little lemon juice on the broiled chicken pieces.
  • Top the fragrant rice with the broiled chicken, boiled eggs, coriander or parsley leaves, lime wedges and toasted nuts and raisins - as desired.

CLASSIC ARABIAN KABSA SPICE MIX FROM THE SPICE ROUTE



Classic Arabian Kabsa Spice Mix from the Spice Route image

This is just one variation of the classic Arabian spice mix which is used in the ancient Saudi Arabian dish called Al Kabsa or Al Kabsah; a chicken and rice dish which is fragrant and lightly spiced - and is thought to originate from the nomadic Bedouin tribes. Arabic cuisine has its roots in tent cookery. Nomadic tribes could use only transportable foods such as rice and dates, or their nomadic stock like sheep and camels in their recipes. As the caravans journeyed throughout the Middle East, new seasonings and vegetables were discovered and added to the existing repertoire. Each new discovery was incorporated into the diet in quantities palatable to a particular tribe - a fact that many cooks believe is responsible for the anomalies found in some Arabic dishes today.

AL KABSA - ANCIENT ARABIAN CHICKEN AND FRAGRANT RICE



Al Kabsa - Ancient Arabian Chicken and Fragrant Rice image

This classic Arabian dish is Saudi Arabian in origin, and is believed to originate from the nomadic Bedouin tribes centuries ago. Arabic cuisine has its roots in tent cookery. Nomadic tribes could use only transportable foods such as rice and dates, or their nomadic stock like sheep and camels in their recipes. As the caravans journeyed throughout the Middle East, new seasonings and vegetables were discovered and added to the existing repertoire. Each new discovery was incorporated into the diet in quantities palatable to a particular tribe - a fact that many cooks believe is responsible for the anomalies found in some Arabic dishes today. You can use lamb (or camel !!) in this dish, but it is more usual to make it with chicken nowadays. I have a recipe posted on Zaar for the Kabsa spice mix needed in this recipe. Recipe #290159
