2.5 lbs chicken thighs
3 cups basmati rice
1 large onion (finely chopped)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and cloves. Add the chicken thighs and mix until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Serve hot.
