Ingredients

2 ½ tablespoon cumin powder
2 tablespoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon black pepper powder
1 tablespoon cardamom powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon cloves powder
1 tablespoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon red chili powder Optional
1 chicken with skin cut in half
2 teaspoons Yemeni mix spice
Salt to taste
2 tablespoon melted butter
1 onion chopped
1 tomato chopped
1 green chili
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoon Yemeni mix spice
1 cup Basmati rice washed and soaked
2 1/2 cups boiling water (Read the notes)
2 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
1/2 cup Raisins and sliced almonds for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Mix them all up and keep in airtight container.
Season the chicken with salt. Mix butter with 2 teaspoons from the spice mix and brush the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes. You can skip the 10 minutes if you don't have much time.
Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 25 minutes. If the chicken is bigger you will need to bake it a little longer. Keep aside.
In a pan add the olive oil, when hot add the onion and fry until translucent.
Add the tomatoes and green chili, stir on medium heat for 4 minutes.
Add the Yemeni spice mix, stir for two minutes. Pour the water and season with salt.
When the water comes to a boil, add the rice. When it starts to boil again, cover tightly. Heat should turned down to the lowest.
After 15 minutes, uncover the rice and gently stir, just to bring the bottom rice to the top. Cover tightly and cook for another 15-17 minutes.
When serving, place the chicken on top of the rice and garnish with almonds and raisins.
