Ingredients:
- 1 cup Mohit Shahi Basmati Rice
- 500g bone-in chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, etc.)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup green peas
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped, for garnishing
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides.
- Add the diced carrot, bell pepper, and green peas. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables with the spices.
- Rinse the Mohit Shahi Basmati Rice thoroughly and add it to the pot. Mix gently to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
- Once the rice and chicken are cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the mixture and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the One-Pot Chicken Rice hot, garnished with fresh chopped coriander leaves.
Tips:
- You can add other vegetables of your choice like corn, beans, or zucchini.
- Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
