Hi Everybody !!
I know the name of this recipe is quite too long :) but what to do, I couldn't think of a better name for my own creation..So we'll go on with "Cashew Rice with Roasted Chicken and Eggs".









Ingredients:
Rice                 1kg (basmati)
Margarine            100g

Oil                  1/4 cup
Turmeric Powder      1 1/2 tsp (1.5 tsp)
Cashew Nuts          100g (or as required)

Eggs                 Half dozen
Black Pepper Corn    8-10

Cloves               6
Cardamom             4
Cinnamon Stick       1
Chicken Stock Cubes  2 cubes
White Vinegar        1 tbsp
Salt                 As required

Chicken Whole        (should be around 1-1.5kg)

Vinegar              1 cup
Oil                  (to fry the chicken)
Ginger Paste         1 tsp

Garlic Paste         1 tsp
Red Chili Powder     2 tsp
Salt                 As required
Food Color (orange)  1 pinch or equivalent drops


Preparation:
Rice > First of all, wash and soak rice for 10-15 mins. Then take a pot, put margarine and oil together. When the mixture gets hot, put black pepper corn, cloves, cardamom and cinnamon sticks. Allow them to fry till slightly brown. Now add water (required for a kg of rice). Add vinegar, salt, turmeric powder and chicken stocks, then let the water boil.
Soon as the water starts boiling add rice in it, and cook it.
Fry cashew nuts and boil eggs to dress the rice.


Chicken > Make slight cuts on the chicken, in order to deep fry it (you may see it in the picture above). Now take a big bowl, so that you can dip the whole chicken in the marinate.
To prepare the marinate, mix vinegar, ginger and garlic pastes, salt, food color in a litre of water. Now put the chicken in the marinate and leave it for 6-8 hours in a refrigerator. The bowl should be covered.

After 8 hours strain the marinate and let the chicken dry completely. After it's dried apply chili powder on it.
Now deep fry the whole chicken in a fryer or a frying pan.



Serving:
Your Cashew Rice with Roasted Chicken and Eggs is ready to be served :) You can use your skills to decorate the dish. Well, how I dressed it up you can see in the picture.
Additionally, you can serve it with a salad and chili paste.
