Chicken Majboos Recipe | Arabian Rice Majboos | Arabian dish

Описание: Chicken Majboos, also known as Chicken Machboos or Chicken Kabsa, is a fragrant and flavorful traditional one-pot mixed rice dish popular across the Arabian Gulf region, where it is often considered a national dish (e.g., in Kuwait and Bahrain). 

Description

Core Components: The dish is built around tender, slow-cooked chicken and long-grain basmati rice. The key to its deep flavor is that the rice is cooked in the highly seasoned broth leftover from simmering the chicken.

Flavor Profile: Majboos is known for its aromatic, earthy, and mildly spiced profile, which distinguishes it from the spicier Indian biryani. A signature tartness and subtle smokiness come from the essential use of loomi, or dried black limes. The overall flavor is a rich and satisfying blend of warm spices.

Key Spices: The specific blend varies by region, but common whole and ground spices include cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, coriander, and turmeric (often part of a general Baharat spice mix).

Preparation & Serving: The chicken pieces are typically browned, simmered in a rich, tomato-based broth with spices and onions, then often removed and roasted or grilled separately to crisp the skin. The rice is then cooked in the remaining flavorful broth until tender. The final dish is served on a large platter, garnished with toppings like fried onions, toasted nuts (almonds, pine nuts), and raisins. It is commonly accompanied by a spicy tomato garlic sauce called Daqqus or a cooling yogurt salad. 

Majboos is considered a comforting and hearty meal, often prepared for family gatherings and special occasions.
