ONE-POT CHICKEN RICE

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:

1. In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides.
4. Add the diced carrot, bell pepper, and green peas. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables with the spices.
6. Rinse the Mohit Shahi Basmati Rice thoroughly and add it to the pot. Mix gently to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
7. 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.
8. Once the rice and chicken are cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the mixture and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
9. Remove the pot from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
10. 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.
