Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 cups basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for 15 minutes
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon paste
Zest of 2 oranges
Olive oil
2–3 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 cinnamon stick
3 bay leaves
4 cardamom pods
2 star anise
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 garlic cloves, grated
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
For the tomato sauce (Daqoos):
3 fresh tomatoes
1 small onion, quartered
3 spicy green chilies
1 peeled lemon
3 garlic cloves
A small bunch of fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
Optional garnish:
2 tablespoons butter
Sliced almonds

Raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom pods, and star anise. Add paprika, chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper. Mix well and add the chicken pieces. Season with salt, then stir in the tomato paste, bouillon paste, and orange zest. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add 2 cups of water and cover the pot. Simmer for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. Remove the cinnamon, star anise, and cardamom pods if possible. Drain the rice and add it to the pot along with 1–2 teaspoons of salt. Add enough water to cover the rice by 1–2 cm. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and fluffy.


While the rice cooks, broil the chicken on a baking tray for 8–10 minutes, until lightly charred.

To make the daqoos sauce, blend the tomatoes, onion, green chilies, lemon, garlic, mint, cumin, salt, and water in a high-powered blender or food processor. Pulse until a chunky salsa texture is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve the rice on a platter topped with the broiled chicken. Drizzle with daqoos sauce or serve the sauce on the side. For garnish, melt the butter in a pan and toast the almonds and raisins or cranberries until golden. Sprinkle over the dish before serving.

Notes
This dish gets even more flavorful as it sits, making it great for meal prep. Adjust the number of chilies in the sauce depending on your spice preference. You can also use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of a whole chicken.
