Directions
Cardamom Infused Chicken With Rice (Saleek), This dish is my ultimate comfort food It’s commonly eaten in winter and during the month of Ramadan for the pre-dawn breakfast, but for me it’s a regular at least 2 or 3 times a month Its always served with doggos (Saudi salsa) (Note: in Saudi the thigh and drumstick is not disjointed and is served as one portion) , I *really* wanted to like this but the mastikah completely overpowered the chicken If I were to tackle this recipe again (haven’t given up completely), I would reduce the amount of mastikah significantly I also did not like the mushiness of the rice cooked in milk Perhaps this just wasn’t a good recipe fit for me But, I learn something new everyday and it was an interesting laboratory experiment nonetheless Sorry!, I haven’t tried this particular recipe, but I’ve had it from a local Arabic store, and it’s INCREDIBLE She’s right about it being the ultimate comfort food Warm and hearty, filling and super tasty You must try it!
