Omani Chicken Kabuli Rice image

A yummy chicken and rice dish that I modified to my families taste by combining two Omani recipes found online plus my own taste. recipe#492976 & http://therecipegroup.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/omani-chicken-kabuli-rice. Traditionally ginger is added (I blame Indian influence), we don't tend to enjoy ginger in savory dishes so I omitted it. You may add some if you like.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 whole chicken legs (that means with the thigh)
3 cups white basmati rice
3 sliced onions
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon whole cardamom pod, bruised
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 small cinnamon stick
2 whole dried limes (loomi, peirced with a skewer in a few places)
1 tablespoon baharat spice mix (Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
light tasting extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup golden raisin, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1/4 cup blanched whole almond
3 pinches dried lime powder (loomi in Middle Eastern shops usually found whole but > Loomi Powder (Noomi Basara, Dried Lime, Black Lemon, Loomi Aswad)
sea salt, to taste
cilantro leaf, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash white basmati rice and soak 10 to more minutes depending on quality of rice.
  • Wash whole chicken legs keeping the skin on. Add to pot.
  • Cover chicken pieces with water and bring to the boil skimming off the scum.
  • Add whole spices including loomi as well as sea salt and boil for a further 40 minutes.
  • Drain the chicken pieces keeping the chicken stock and shallow fry in a bit of light tasting extra virgin olive oil until golden brown.
  • Fry sliced onion in the same oil until golden brown then remove half of them and keep aside for garnishing.
  • To the remaining onions in the pan, add tomato paste and baharat spice mix then add 6 cups of the chicken stock after straining. To that add the drained rice.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat and cover for 10-20 minutes depending on amount, quality and quantity. (If it's a cheaper rice it will become softer faster so do 10 minutes and take off the heat 1 minute then check if done).
  • Drain raisins then add to a pan with a bit of oil and fry along with the almonds until toasted. Then add garnish onions & loomi powder.
  • Put the rice on a plate and arrange chicken pieces on top, garnish with raisins, almonds and onion mixture and a few cilantro leaves if wished.
  • I serve it with a raita (yogurt salad) or daqoos (Gulf Arabian tomato sauce).
  • Enjoy!

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with more spices.
