1 Whole chicken washed clean and drained
1 Medium Onion Chopped
1 cinnamon stick, cloves, garlic, cardamom,
Oil for frying the chicken
Turmeric or food color (a pinch)
Salt to taste.

Method:
In a large cooking pan add some cooking oil, add Onion, cinnamon stick, cardamom, cloves garlic. Let them fry for a minute.

Once the onion is fried add the whole chicken with some salt and let it fry with the ingredients. Add about 3 cups of water and let it cook. Once the chicken is done take it out from the pot and let it cool. Take the rice and put them into the chicken broth water. Cook it slowly.

When the rice is half done, the there shouldn't be water in the pot. Transfer the pot to the smallest burner with very low flame. This will steam the half cooked rice. close the pot with a lid.

Mean time start to fry the chicken. Fry the whole chicken deep fry or in a flat pan until golden color.

Serve the rice with chicken with some garnish. Make sure you have a flat plate to serve the rice. Keep the chicken in th middle of the plate.
