Madrouba Emirati style

Chicken madrouba appears alongside a hammour-fish version on Dubai World Trade Centre’s main-course menu. In the chicken-and-rice preparation published by One-World Whisk, basmati rice is simmered with onion, garlic, tomato, spinach and fresh herbs until very soft. Cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom and baharat season this version.[1][2]

In this home-cooking adaptation, the cook adds shredded cooked chicken and fresh lemon juice and zest, then mashes the mixture to break down the rice and meat into a porridge. Fried onions go on top, with strained yogurt and pita suggested alongside.[2]
