How to make chicken and rice nyc style - stands

Cut your chicken in cubes

Now add curry masala 1/2 tsp

1/2 tsp cumin powder

Pinch of tandoori masala

1/2 tsp salt and black pepper I added this much it all depends on how much chicken you have. Also add your garlic and mix then let it marinate for few hours

Now for sauce chop half onion very small

Get your sour cream, mayo and Greek yogurt mix away. Add your salt, garlic , onions and dill

Shred your cucumber and remove all excess water with your hand

Now add cucumber to the sauce , taste then let all the flavors set in fridge

So while everything is marinating am going to start my rice. People ask me all the time how I get perfect rice just look at finger The second line is where the water should reach

As you can see my finger has touched the bottom of the rice cooker. The water level is just right towards my second line

Add turmeric

While rice is boiling. Add oil and stir fry chicken

Once you see a little white add chopped onions

Now add tomato sauce like half a can then I put about 3 tbs of hot chili sauce. This is according to my taste. The chicken is not suppose to be spicy but its suppose to give a kick. Cook 30 mins

Place your yellow rice on bottom then your chicken then drizzle the white sauce. Enjoy I came close enough to have it taste like the stands in NY
