Saleeg~ warm meal good for winter

 - I recomended it for winter very warm -

Ingredients (for 4-5 person):

• A chicken
• 2 cups of Egyptian rice "أرز مصري" (This kind looks tiny)
• 1 onion and 1 or 2 cloves of garlic
• 4 piece of cardamom "هيل" (Green ones), it's possible instead cinnamon "قرفه"
• 2 cup of milk (warm)
• Oil & salt

- Egyptian rice -

Method:

1. Firstly, you have to wash the rice 2 or 3 times to clean it then leave it in warm water.

2. Cut the onion into small pecies and use the grater for the garlic, and in a pot heat some oil and then add to it the onion and garlic.

- Keep moving it untill its colour became white brown -

3. Cut the chicken to 4 parts, and when the onion start to be white brown (It's shouldn't burn  other wise it may give bad tasty) add it.

And then add bioled water and salt in the pot and leave it untill the chicken cooked well (about 30min).

4. When the chicken ready take it out and filter it's water in another pot in order to add the rice next. (put the chicken in food container we'll back to it later)

- You can use the knife test to check if the chicken ready -

- Rice added after filtering the water -

5. Boil the rice in the water and reduce the heat, cover and simmer untill the rice melt (add extra water when needed).

5. When the rice melt, add the 2 cup of warm milk, and keep moving it from time to time. 

6. Chicken is waiting! :P

( If you like there is mixture to put on the chicken which is: limon juice, chill powder and turmeric)

In the over put the chicken until the outer layer became golden brown.

Finally, saleeg ready :)

You can also make a sauce with this meal which is Banadora "بندورة" Sauce:

- 4 Tomato
- Salt
- Pepper (one, half or without depend of how hot you want it)
- Half cup parsley

- Water

Blend them all in a blender until they mixed well.

• Note: This meal take time, about 3h or more. That's because it's in 2 processes first chicken then rice. However, if you are student or worker and feel you don't have time, you can skip the chicken part. What you will do is: after washing the rice directly biold it with water, sault and butter. then when it ready you'll add the milk and do the same things.
