Persian Style Chicken Recipe Dovvom (2)

Ingredients:

~ 3 pieces chicken thigh

~ 2 large onion, dice (I used a lot to get thick gravy and sweetness)

~ 5 cloves garlic

~ 2 tspn turmeric powder

~ 1 tspn cinnamon powder

~ 1/2 tspn blackpepper powder

~ 2 tbsp saffron liquid

~ salt to taste

~ juice of 1 lime

~ hot water

~ cooking oil

Methods:

1. Heat some oil in a pan. Place chicken thighs, fry until all sides turn brown. Set aside. This step is important to get a juicy meat.

2. In the same pan, saute onion and garlic, add turmeric powder. 

3. When the onion turn golden color, add in the seared chicken, cinnamon powder and blackpepper powder.

4. Pour hot water and saffron liquid, covering the chicken. Let it boil.

5. Lower heat to medium, cover the pot simmer for 1 hour.

6. After an hour, the water level has reduced by half. You'll get a thick gravy from the mashed onion and garlic.

7. Add in lime and taste with salt. I prefer not to put salt earlier. Somehow the sweetness from the onion and garlic need only a litlle pinch of salt.

8. Simmer for another 30 minutes or until the meat get very tender. 

9. Serve with rice or bread.
