4 small peeled and halved onions
2 Bay leaves
about 1 liter water, cooking is not an exact science, baking is.
1 chicken about 1.5-2 kg
1 teaspoon saffron
750 gr basmati rice
100 gr ghee
5 shredded cloves of garlic
7 cloves
10 Gardamompods
2 Cinnamon sticks about 7 cm
50 gr blanched almonds
100 gr sultanas

Garnish:
4 hard boiled eggs sliced
1 large onion shredded and crispy fried

In a large pot, the chicken has to fit, get the halved onions and bay leaves
and the water to the boil. Add the chicken and simmer for about 2 hours
until the chicken meat is tender.
Take the chicken from the pot, keep the stock and the onions. Let the
chicken cool or if you have asbestos hands go ahead and remove the meat from
the bones, discard the bones and the skin. Put the meat in a bowl and cover
with foil and place in an oven heated at 150 �C just to keep it warm.

In a saucepan bring about 1.5 dl of the stock to the boil. Put the saffron
in a bowl and pour the boiling stock over the saffron and leave for about 10
minutes.
In the meantime wash the rice and get rid of any stones or whatever.
Melt the ghee in a big pot. Take the onions from the stock, and add to the
ghee together with the garlic, the cloves, cardamom and cinnamon and simmer
on a low heat for 4-5 minutes.

Add the rice and stir well so that all the rice grains get in contact with
the spices. Then pour through a sieve the rest of the stock until the rice
is covered, pour the saffron water through the sieve, and get to the boil.
Without a lid on the pan leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes, I said cooking
is not a science. If needed add more of the stock or boiling water. Mix the
rice with the almonds, raisins and the chicken.

Put the warm rice on a preheated plate and garnish with the egg and crispy
fried onion and serve warm.
