ARABIAN KABSA

Hi friends, I am back with a new recipe after  a long time. Actually I was mulling away my leisure time which is ample by the way , by reading books and watching television. Then I recently watched a movie about a blog writer and realised that being a blog writer you have a   responsibility towards your readers. So here I am once again sharing a tasty recipe with you. I came upon this recipe while surfing through my Facebook account. It is called the Arabian Kabsa
. It originated in Yemen but can be said that it is the national dish of Gulf. It is from the family of mixed rice dish with meat and vegetables. But in my version I have used only chicken . So let's start it.

Ingredients :-

900 gms whole chicken cut into 6 pieces
4 cups( approx 150 gm equal to one cup)Basmati rice
100 gms  ghee
Whole Garam Masala ( cloves, cinnamon sticks, green cardamom, black pepper corn, star anise, jayatri ,bay leaf)
Roasted Masala powder ( green cardamom, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, black cardamom , nutmeg) 3 tablespoon
50 gms cashew nuts
50 gms almond
50 gms raisins
2 onion medium size cut into small pieces
2 tomato cut into small pieces
3 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
1 tablespoon grated lemon jest
2 small lemon
8 cups water

PROCEDURE :-

First you have to make the roasted Masala powder and keep it aside . Make sure it would amount to 3 tablespoon.

  

 After roasting the whole spices you have to grind them and your Masala is ready. Keep it aside. Then take a pan and heat 4 tablespoon of ghee. Fry the cashew nuts, almonds and raisins one by one and remove it from the oil. Add bay leaf and the whole garam masala. Then add the onion . Fry it some    and add the chicken pieces . Add the lemon jest and ginger garlic paste and mix it with the chicken.  Add the tomato and the Masala powder . Fry the chicken in this Masala for 5 mins and add the water. Add salt and cover it with a lid. Keep it over medium heat. When the chicken is cooked completely remove it from the mixture and keep it aside. Now add the rice, the nuts and two lemon in the  mixture , cover the lid and cook for 15 mins . When the rice is done remove it from heat and take another frying pan and put oil in it and fry the chicken pieces till golden brown. Place these chicken pieces over the rice and serve it.

 

I hope you will enjoy preparing this dish as I have enjoyed myself doing so and surprise your loved ones with your culinary skills.
Bon Appetite!!
