How to cook it
-
Heat the oil in a heavy pot and cook one sliced onion until deep golden and crisp, about 10 minutes, then lift out for a topping.
-
Brown the chicken pieces in the same pot, about 8 minutes, then add the remaining chopped onion, garlic, baharat, and turmeric and cook 2 minutes.
-
Add the water and salt, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
-
Lift out the chicken, shred the meat off the bone, and skim any excess fat from the broth.
-
Rinse the rice and lentils and stir them into the broth, topped up with water to 3 cups if needed.
-
Bring back to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook 18 minutes until the rice and lentils are tender.
