Somali Rice with Tomato, Potato and Onion Garnish, Baked Chicken





This yummy dish was a big hit yesterday. The baked chicken was cooked using a baking bag. Some of you might be thinking that I am crazy, after all who cooks their chicken in a bag.
But let me tell you that this chicken was so juicy on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside.
The rice was made the usual way except I cooked it with tomatoes. Turned out wonderfully. The potato garnish was nice, especially with the addition of raisins.

    Can you please remember to tell posters to add salt? The rice will come out tasteless without salt and some garlic powder.

    THere is no need to add salt or garlic powder. There is plenty of salt in the chicken cubes and the chicken broth. You would only add salt if you were using plain water instead of broth. I love salt, if you add salt on top of the cubes and broth it would be WAY too salty. You can also use garlic if you want.

I would first like to thank my wonderful neighbor Marium for showing me how to make this. Masha'Allah, she is such an expert that she is able to make 2 stacks of eight instead of 8 stacks of 2.

Knead until a smooth dough is formed. 3. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. 4. Knead for 2 minutes and then divide the dough into 16 pieces. 5.
