      Shukran, ya Um Safia! This recipe was a great success and reminded us of 18 happy years spent in Saudi Arabia!

      What a great, easy meal. I used chicken thigh fillets, so didn't cook the chicken for 30 mins before adding everything else. Worked perfectly & the result was nice and tender. I didn't add raisins due to personal preference, but otherwise followed the recipe. Thanks Um Safia for a lovely meal that we'll definitely have again.

      The dish is excellent, but the directions leave much to be desired (for example: it doesn't specify when to add the garlic, onions or raisins, and doesn't say whether the 15 oz. of tomatoes are canned, canned and drained, or freshly chopped; I ended up using canned tomatoes and draining them). The flavors were wonderful, even though I had to do without the saffron or cardamom, but like other reviewers I found that there was just too much liquid -- when everything was done cooking, I removed the chicken and drained off about 1 and a half cups of extra liquid from the rice -- so next time I will use less water and/or more rice. Loved the finished product, though! Thanks for sharing!

      The flavor of this was terrific, but 4 cups of water is too much, the rice was a pile of mush. I salvaged the chicken and did the rice again using all the spices, 2 cups rice, and 3 and 1/4 cups chicken stock. It was perfect that way. I really love the smell of this when it is cooking. Thanks Um Safia!

      5 stars. A really tasty recipe masha Allah which FIL, MIL, DH, etc enjoyed served with daqoos (Kuwaiti tomato sauce, recipe to be posted) & Salata Tahini--Middle Eastern Tahini Salad plus Fastest Ayran Ever and other juice. I use canned plum tomatoes which I chop up and also for the tomato puree I whizzed them in a blender and cooked with some garlic and extra virgin olive oil. I love the addition of the grated carrots in this. I do not use nutmeg because of it's intoxicant properties. I just added bruised whole cardamom pods for the ground, regular black pepper instead of the white, instead of ground allspice I use my own Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix, a replacement I commonly make. I did not used ground loomi as I didn't have any but instead of using a chicken stock cube I use my own homemade chicken stock which does contain loomi simmered in whole to replace the water and be gluten and corn free. I cook the rice with enough of the liquid needed depending on rice quantity. I intend to make this again and broil the chicken in the oven like my SIL does (skin still on), flipping part way through & adding a little sea salt after.
