How to make it

  • SAUCE Place chicken pieces, onions, salt and hot water in a 5-pint saucepan. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours. The chicken should be tender, yet firm. Remove and cool chicken, reserving stock. Remove meat from bones; use only large pieces for this dish. Cook rice in boiling salted water. When done, drain and keep covered until used. To make stock sauce: Brown onions in hot butter and remove from heat. Add cardamom and cumin; mash with onion to form a paste. Add about 1 pint of the chicken stock; simmer for 5 minutes and taste for seasoning. Combine cooked rice, stock sauce and chicken; place in a buttered casserole; place carrots on top of mixture and sprinkle with raisins. Cover and cook for about 35 to 45 minutes in a very moderate oven (325F). Add more stock or water if dish becomes too dry. When done, mix carrots and raisins lightly with chicken and rice.
