1 Cinnamon Stick

4.5 cups Chicken Stock

1/4 cup Fried Onions, Raisins, and Cashews (For garnish)

Equipment

• 1 Large Mixing Bowl (For marination)
• 1 Charcoal Grill or Oven (For grilling)
• 1 Heavy Bottom Pot (For Mandi rice)
• 1 Small Piece of Charcoal (For smoky flavor)

Method

 

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix cream, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, white pepper, cardamom, and salt. Coat the chicken legs thoroughly, ensuring the marinade reaches the deep cuts. Let it rest for at least 2 hours.

Grill the Tikka: Place chicken on a grill over medium charcoal heat or in an oven at 200°C. Baste frequently with butter. Cook until charred on the outside and juicy inside (approx. 25-30 mins).

Prepare Mandi Rice: In a pot, sauté whole spices (cloves, cardamom, cinnamon) and dry lemons. Add chicken stock and Mandi spice mix. Bring to a boil, add soaked rice, and cook until the water is absorbed and rice is fluffy.

The “Chullu” Smoke: Place the grilled chicken on top of the cooked rice. Place a small foil bowl with a hot charcoal piece in the center. Drizzle oil on the charcoal and cover the lid tightly for 5 minutes to infuse the “Smoky Arabic” aroma.

Serving: Serve the rice on a large platter (Siniya), place the tikka legs on top, and add a generous dollop of butter on each leg as per Chullu tradition. Garnish with nuts and fried onions.
