Bariis Iskukaris - One Pot Somali Rice & Chicken

Amazing! So flavorful, both my husband and I loved it. This one pot meal was so easy. We had some saffron from another dish so we crushed up some and added it when we put the rice in! Also had jalapenos and orange pepper left over so added those as well with the onions and garlic. We added a little salt and pepper.

Tasty. As others have done, I cubed the chicken prior to rice and put it back in to heat through at end. I would also use a little less water next time

Made twice. Convinced it needs golden raisins in it. Still very good. Serve with yogurt. Olives may also be good Would also recommend cubing the chicken and removing it before adding the rice. I think this will keep the chicken from getting over cooked.

Great flavour. I ended using 1.2kgs of chicken and gave out too much water, so the majority of the rice ended up being overcooked. Tasted really good through. I'll adjust the amount of water next time.

I served this to my Somali (Muslim) sister, and she now looks at me suspect, like I wasn't supposed to know how to do this without her tutelage or maybe I had someone cook it for me! 🤣😅 So, I rate this is an A+ recipe for the potluck. Very easy and tasty. I also used Maggi for the bouillon.

Go a little heavier on the spices, otherwise delicious!

Really tasty

Tasty, quick and easy to make. Nice flavour and healthy. We'll have this again.
