  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken 10 min

    Ready when: All the pieces are coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the rice 18 min

    Rinse the rice and cook it with water (2 cups per cup of rice) and a pinch of salt: boil until the water reaches the rice level, then cover on the lowest heat.

    Ready when: Rice is soft and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Soften the onion 5 min

    Chop the onion. Heat the oil on medium, add the cumin until it sizzles, then the onion.

    Ready when: Onion is soft and light golden.

    Cook the chicken 8 min

    Add the chicken with its marinade. Stir and cook, turning the pieces often.

    Ready when: A cut piece is white in the middle.

  5. 5

    Add the rest of the yogurt 2 min

    Turn the heat to low (yogurt splits on high heat). Stir in the rest of the yogurt and warm for 2 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed.

    Ready when: The sauce is creamy, not grainy.
