Kid friendly bar in Dubai? Enter: BFF

I’m not going to waste anymore digital space describing just how horrible 2020 has been. On a macro level, the whole world has been disastrously affected by a virus, while on a micro level, my humble website has been hacked and got taken down twice within the first 5 months. While I marvel at who would actually invest any amount of time on hacking this site (with its zero financial data and nil sensitive information), I should now dwell on the celebration immediately around the corner – Eid 2020.
Doubtless, it’s been a different kind of Ramadan. No full family iftars, no get-togethers, no mosque prayers and definitely no creating ridiculous tiktok videos with cousins after full bellies. Everything fun was missed, and we can only wish for a miraculous revival of everything that’s gone topsy-turvy in the world this year. On a microlevel again, let me begin with the revival of my blog with a recipe post of a delicious Middle Eastern Chicken and Rice dish I chanced upon.
Mr FoodKissed is a biriyani lover, though rice in most forms gets his approval. Having grown up in Dubai, Arabic flavors do nostalgic things to his taste buds. Whether it is Majboos, Mandi or Biriyani, the Middle Eastern flavors and the soft, fragrant rice works its charm to please his…heck, anyone’s palette. Bring together some gloriously charred chicken and basmati rice cooked in scented curry and cumin – chances are that you’ve hit jackpot. Without further ado readers, here is the recipe for a Middle Eastern Chicken and Rice dish that I’d recommend you try to please some rice lovers.
Middle Eastern Chicken and Rice.
Chicken marinade:
Chicken Thighs – 5 or 6 (I prefer skin on, bone in)
Turmeric pwder – 2 Tbsp
Lemon juice – 2 Tbsp
Cumin powder – 1 Tbsp
Curry powder – ½ Tbsp
Dried oregano – 1 Tbsp
Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
Salt – 1 Tsp
Black pepper – 1 Tsp
To make the rice:
Olive oil – 1 + 1 Tbsp
Onion – 1 small, chopped

I’m not saying that this beats the beauty of a Talasseri biriyani or a mutton broth soaked Kabsa. But this is a definite contender, crowd-pleaser and a food-coma creator, all rolled into one. Fantastically easy, non-complicated and quick – all attributes that makes this a FoodKissed recommended recipe that is 100% worth a try for you food lovers!

A walking epitome of food-lust, permanently craving for chicken, cheese & chocolates of all and every form.
