Ingredients

1 1/2 cups White Basmati Rice-cleaned & rinsed (Do not use other kinds of rice for this recipe)

Water (amount varies according to the size of boiler-pot you are using)

1 Tomato cut up in small pieces

1 small to medium onion chopped

2 heaping teaspoons of Baharat spice ground

3 heaping teaspoons of cardomon ground

3/4 can of tomato paste

6 teaspoons of olive oil

1 small snack box of raisins

1 small chicken cut in sections (a frying chicken will do)

salt to taste

1 cinnamon stick

2 packets (.19 oz each) of "Wyler's instant beef broth (optional)

1 dried black lemon

2 heaping teaspoons powdered garlic

Directions

1. Thaw chicken according to meat packing directions, wash chicken thoroughly and take the skin off the chicken.

Set aside skinned chicken, but nolonger than a few minutes so as not to promote bacterial growth.

2. In a large boiler-pot add oil, chopped onions and 1 heaping teaspoon of cardomon stirring until browned on medium high heat.

3. Add boiling water to the boiler-pot until half full.

4. Add salt accoriding to your own taste,

2 heaping tablespoons of cardomon,

2 heaping teaspoons of garlic powder,

the cut tomato,

3/4 can of tomato paste,

1 black lemon

the raisins to the already browned onions. (adding the 2 packets

of "Wyler's instant beef broth at this time is optional).

5. Stir on medium heat and try a little of the broth (add spices to suit your own taste).

6. Add chicken to the broth and keep at medium heat. Cover with aluminum foil and then the pot lid

7. Boil chicken on medium high for approximately 30 minutes. Turn down heat to medium

temperature and take the chicken out of the broth and place in an oven baking dish into a preheated oven at 300 degrees F. & bake.

8. Strain the broth. Keep the strained ingredients in one bowl and the broth in another bowl.

9. Put the ingredients (e.g. onions, tomato, black lemon, etc.) back into the boiler-pot.

10. Add the 1 1/2 cups of Basmati rice along with 3 measured cups of the kapsa broth thatyou had previously set aside in a bowl.

11. Bring the Basmati rice, the Kapsa broth and all the ingredients to a boil, then immedietly turn down heat to low and cover sealing tightly again Cover with a lid over with aluminum foil.

Do not open or peek at it for at least 10 minutes. Then periodically check to see if rice is light and fluffy, but do not stir rice

The Kapsa rice is done when all the broth has been absorbed. Remember to check on the chicken in the oven every so often

to make sure that it doesn't overcook and become dry.

The chicken should be moist.

Turn off the heat and take off the aluminum foil and allow the extra steam to escape.

If theBasmati rice appears dry and not completely cooked add a little bit of the extra broth and recover until finished.

Do not mix the water and rice, just add over the top.

Pour rice on to a large circular platter. Place the chicken from the oven in the middle and on top of the rice.

Serve with shattah (hot sauce).

This sounds delicious. Basmati is the only rice I prefer to use; I think it's so much more flavorful than other types of rice. I wonder, can this recipe be adapted so it can be made in a slow cooker?

This sounds very much like something I had in Jordan a long time ago. I can't remember the name but I remember how delicious it was - like chicken biryani but even better. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
