Step 1
Make the pilau masala:
Step 2
Place all the pilau masala spices in a small pan on low heat and dry toast them for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Leave them to cool for a couple of minutes, then place them in a grinder and grind to a powder.
Step 3

Step 4

Step 6
Rub the marinade over the chicken pieces and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Place the chicken in a large roasting tray and cook for 25 minutes. Set aside.
Step 8
Make the rice:
Step 9
In a medium pot on low heat, heat the oil, then add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until browned. The darker the onion, the better; the deep brown color of the onion will enhance the color of the final dish.
Step 10
Add the ginger-garlic paste, 3 tablespoons of the pilau masala and the diced potatoes. Cook for a few minutes to ensure the spices are mixed, then add the roasted chicken and 4 cups of water.
Step 11
Bring to a boil, then add the basmati rice and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer on low heat until cooked, about 20 minutes.

In a bowl, combine the onion, tomato and cilantro, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and red pepper flakes. Mix and adjust the seasoning as needed.
