This was freaking fantastic. However, having somebody else cut up the chicken (or just using quarters/breasts) would probably help. If you have a whole chicken to work with though, cut it up!

A good, basic, rice. The split-peas don’t really work, so I may leave them out next time. Only down-side is the 30 minute prep on the rice, but you can do that while making other dishes. 2 cups basmati rice 2 tbsp olive or canola oil 1 dried hot red chili 1 tsp urad dal […]
