Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make nasi kebuli ayam:

• 2 cups of basmati rice
• 500g of chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 2 onions, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 4 cups of chicken broth
• 1 cup of raisins
• 1 cup of fried shallots
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Rinse the Rice

The first step in making nasi kebuli ayam is to rinse the rice. Put the rice in a bowl and fill it with water. Use your hands to gently stir the rice around, then pour off the water. Repeat this process until the water runs clear.

Step 2: Fry the Onions and Garlic

Next, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic and fry until they are soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and fry until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Spices

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cardamom, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5: Add the Rice and Chicken Broth

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir it together with the chicken and spices. Pour in the chicken broth and stir everything together.

Step 6: Cook the Rice

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice cook for 20-25 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through.

Step 7: Add the Raisins and Fried Shallots

Once the rice is cooked, add the raisins and fried shallots to the pot. Use a fork to fluff up the rice and mix everything together.

Step 8: Serve

Your nasi kebuli ayam is now ready to serve! You can garnish it with more fried shallots and serve it with some fresh vegetables on the side.
