Cooking during Covid Lockdown in New Zealand!: I got home from work and my mum said: "You're cooking!" She had already gone to get all the ingredients required from the supermarket and had them laid out on the kitchen bench for me. It didn't take too long to complete and once it was done my isolated parents were utterly satisfied with the dish! Thankyou Marion! It was a pleasure to cook this, especially during Covid lockdown 😊

This is a great rice dish! It reminds me so much of Spanish Paella too, but only that it's with chicken instead ♥ I want to try this soon

[@LemLTay]

With Thai "socarrat" that everyone seems to want to get more of! Isn't it nice, so many cultures love the crispy, browned bit of rice at the base of the pan or pot, that's often the yummiest bit!

[@danielaabr777]

@@LemLTay Crispy rice from the bottom of the pot is the most flavorful bit of most dishes like this, and I love it ♥

[@siva992]

Temper your spices in the oil first before adding the onion. Makes a whole difference.

Going to try this tonight before adding my onions! Great tip!

It was so amazing and flavourful!!!! After covid i am planning to go to Thailand again just to buy myself 2 packs of this!!

[@mahualm]

This is so close to the Indian chicken pulao I make. Even down to the mint chutney. I agree its a comfort dish, but way better!

[@BereanBaker]

Anyone else need a playlist of recipes where the ingredients are readily available in America? 😅🤣

[@ragnaice]

Looks delish! I follow a lot of chefs and cooks on youtube, love watching them all but Marion's recipes are the ones I tend to try out for myself and they always come out great. Pretty much everything I've cooked for the past month has been from here (although I tend to tone down the spiciness since my delicate Icelandic palate is just not made for hot chilies).

It is definitely a version of Indian Biryani but we don’t use curry powder (did not know something called curry powder existed until I moved to the US) instead use various combinations of whole and ground spices and no tomato in general.

[@theodoreberbach9562]

I have an idea Marion. instead of curry powder, i add green curry paste, or red or yellow, instead, also add a touch of coconut milk after adding the stock, also fry by using coconut oil how does that sound

[@SuperShania81]

This dish is so familiar to any culture that was influenced by Arab traders during the Middle Ages. From paella to biryani and all other dishes in between. This looks so amazing, I can’t wait to try this over the weekend!

[@satoshiketchump]

Biryani is Central Asian in origin

[@Indrayavam]

Arab introducing rice based dish ? Thats a history!

[@julierauthshaw8556]

Okay! Dinner is done, and my husband had 2 big bowls! I would say that's a hit, and a keeper for my recipe arsenal!

[@delphimichaels164]

That pot of charred chicken and golden rice when the lid was lifted off made me moan and salivate. Honestly, looks like one of the best I’ve seen on this channel and I’ve watched dozens and dozens of her recipes. Making a shopping list.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I made this and it tastes delicious but il bummed. The chicken skin didn't crisp nicely it just got stuck. It was on pretty high heat. I didn't touch it for the cooking time. And the rice just got burned and stuck to the bottom :( what did I do wrong? And after 25 minutes after removing the cover there was still quite a bit of liquid left. Used a regular SS skillet

[@Exaris79]

I usually use my favorite salsa and add the extra vegetables that i like to the left over rice. Add the Peri-Peri(Nando's) sauce to give that extra kick and mixed shredded chicken pieces before finishing it. Air Fried the marinated chicken with spicy seasoning and maybe sour cream or Tsaziki sauce to balance the flavour. Consistent and fast results.

[@cynrok]

What are the spices in the curry powder??

I see the resemblance to biryani. But it also shares some technique with paella or even risotto.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

What a lovely blend of Thai and Indian cuisines. Loved this recipe. I will add little yogurt instead of vinegar while making that mint chutney. Love watching your videos Marion.

[@HungNguyen-tk6vb]

Is there a yogurt you cook with or is this any regular yogurt like the kind you eat like snacks

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Hung Nguyen I can tell you from my Indian point of view of cooking. There is not a specific kind of yogurt for cooking but we use the regular PLAIN UNFLAVOURED yogurt ( not vanilla flavoured or any kind of added flavorings). It can be low fat or whole and it can be Greek style too. Hope this helps🙏🏽

[@HungNguyen-tk6vb]

Thanks a lot that helped

[@sukritidayal9141]

The green dip is you made is a very popular chutney in India!

[@MiilyGarcia0119]

[@ashtweth]

Ever tried roasting some thing in the marinade? Guess what ...it will blow you away, i did it with lamb , similar to this with chicken..tricks of the trade....meat not only cooks in it and absorbs it all but it produces some good gravy ingredients to mess with..ill try it with this already know it will work...And yup you ca bake rice in the Broth....just make sure the broth is brought to a boil before putting it in the baking dish...

[@palaksingh8882]

Only suggestion I'd give here is, that the whole spices should be added in the oil before onions and tomatoes go in it. That's when their flavor will be most effective

[@oraziogreco9590]

I guess it makes a little difference what the hell your inspiring hey I new a Singh antoine for Guyana he left for another world he I a great inspiration to me,apoligize if you are uncomfortable from a pationate taste bud cook bless u man

[@main2333]

Spices would be too cooked by the time onions and tomatoes cook down. It only needs to be added to heat to release oils. Not cooked. Unless remove spices first then added back.

[@Sam-nl3mz]

@@main2333 Adding spice directly to the oil is south-east asian style of cooking (India,Bangladesh, Pakistan etc). They don't burnt actually if cooked in right way. However I think each cuisine has its own style of cooking,just added a bit data here. Happy cooking to all during this sad quarantine 🤗

[@rubymahajan4235]
