| 1. Wash white basmati rice and soak 10 to more minutes depending on quality of rice. | 2. Wash whole chicken legs keeping the skin on. Add to pot. | 3. Cover chicken pieces with water and bring to the boil skimming off the scum. | 4. Add whole spices including loomi as well as sea salt and boil for a further 40 minutes. | 5. Drain the chicken pieces keeping the chicken stock and shallow fry in a bit of light tasting extra virgin olive oil until golden brown. | 6. Fry sliced onion in the same oil until golden brown then remove half of them and keep aside for garnishing. | 7. To the remaining onions in the pan, add tomato paste and baharat spice mix then add 6 cups of the chicken stock after straining. To that add the drained rice. | 8. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and cover for 10-20 minutes depending on amount, quality and quantity. (If it's a cheaper rice it will become softer faster so do 10 minutes and take off the heat 1 minute then check if done). | 9. Drain raisins then add to a pan with a bit of oil and fry along with the almonds until toasted. Then add garnish onions & loomi powder. | 10. Put the rice on a plate and arrange chicken pieces on top, garnish with raisins, almonds and onion mixture and a few cilantro leaves if wished. | 11. I serve it with a raita (yogurt salad) or daqoos (Gulf Arabian tomato sauce). | 12. Enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
