Instructions
1
Wash and soak the rice

Wash and chop the vegetables
Wash and chop the vegetables and keep them aside. In a grinder jar, add chopped tomatoes and make a puree of it.
3
Wash the chicken
Wash the chicken thoroughly, drain water and keep aside.
4
Saute ginger and onion
In a big pot, add vegetable oil, chopped onion, and ginger. Fry on medium heat until brown.
5
Fry the chicken
Add the chicken and brown it on both sides. Add the cumin, cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, clove powder, dried lime, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

Cook the chicken
Add the tomato paste, lemon juice, and cook until the oil rises to the top. Add 1 liter – 4 cups of water, cover and let the chicken cook for 25 minutes on medium-high heat.
7
Fry the dried fruits
In the meantime, fry the raisins until plump and brown in a little bit of oil, drain them, and keep them aside. Then do the same thing with the almonds and cashewnuts. Keep aside.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and put it in a baking pan. Broil it in a hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep aside.
9
Cook the rice
Drain the rice and put it in the pot from where you removed the chicken. Add the shredded carrots and mix well. Cover with a clean tea towel and then cover with a lid (this will prevent the steam from evaporating too quickly). Cook the rice for 20-25 minutes on medium heat.
