Indulge in the heartwarming flavors of India with this delightful rice and chicken dish that promises comfort and satisfaction!

1

Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine yogurt, cumin, turmeric, salt, 3 minced garlic cloves, and grated ginger. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

3

Stir in the remaining minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

4

Add the marinated chicken to the pot, cooking for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until the chicken is browned.

5

Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften.

6

While the chicken prepares, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, about 2-3 times.

7

Add the rice to the pot, along with 4 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle boil.

8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.

9

After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

10

Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
