A complex and intense baharat spice blend infuses roast chicken and basmati rice. I made the spice blend similar to the combinations from the Gulf region by adding spices like loomi (dried lime). Keep this spice mix handy to add to soups, too.
1 ½ tablespoons strong paprika
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
¾ tablespoon ground coriander
¾ tablespoon ground loomi (dried lime)
½ tablespoon sumac powder
¼ tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ tablespoon ground cloves
¼ tablespoon ground nutmeg
5 green cardamom pods, crushed
2 black cardamom pods, crushed
½ bunch fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ fresh lemon, juiced
2 chicken thighs
2 chicken legs
1 chicken breast
1 ½ cups brown basmati rice
¼ cup raw cashews
¼ cup shelled raw almonds
¼ cup golden raisins
⅛ cup shelled raw pistachio nuts
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 shallot, diced
1 cup chicken broth
