8 cups water or 2000 ml

2 dried limes

2 cubes MAGGI® Chicken Bouillon

2½ cups basmati rice or 500 g, washed and drained

2 tablespoons ghee

3 medium onions or 450 g, sliced

1 cup yoghurt or 250 g

Heat the ghee in a large pot, add and cook the onions, stirring for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Add the cooked chicken pieces to the onions and stir to combine.

Combine the yogurt with the spices and the garlic and pour over the chicken. Add half the quantity of the cooked rice to cover the chicken in the pot.

Sprinkle half the quantity of saffron water over the rice, cover with the rest of the rice and then sprinkle with the rest of saffron water.

Cover and cook over low heat for 25–30 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

Serve on a large serving dish and garnish with fried nuts.
