Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.

Method

1. Brown the chicken pieces all over in a splash of olive oil in a large pot.
2. Add a stock cube and enough water to cover, then simmer for around 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, fry the peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn and carrots until they soften.
4. Stir the rice, raisins, turmeric and kabse spice into the softened vegetables, and season with salt and black pepper.
5. Pour in two and a half cups of water and cook gently until the rice is tender.
6. Combine the cooked chicken with the rice and vegetables, then transfer everything to the oven to finish.
