A yummy chicken and rice dish that I modified to my families taste by combining two Omani recipes found online plus my own taste. recipe#492976 & http://therecipegroup.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/omani-chicken-kabuli-rice. Traditionally ginger is added (I blame Indian influence), we don't tend to enjoy ginger in savory dishes so I omitted it. You may add some if you like.

Steps:
- Wash white basmati rice and soak 10 to more minutes depending on quality of rice.
- Wash whole chicken legs keeping the skin on. Add to pot.
- Cover chicken pieces with water and bring to the boil skimming off the scum.
- Add whole spices including loomi as well as sea salt and boil for a further 40 minutes.
- Drain the chicken pieces keeping the chicken stock and shallow fry in a bit of light tasting extra virgin olive oil until golden brown.
- Fry sliced onion in the same oil until golden brown then remove half of them and keep aside for garnishing.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- I serve it with a raita (yogurt salad) or daqoos (Gulf Arabian tomato sauce).
- Enjoy!
