  1. 1

    Put the rice and double the quantity of water in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer partially covered until done. Run a fork through to loosen the grains, cover the pan with a lid and reserve.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok. Fry the onion. When translucent, remove half of the slices and reserve. Continue to fry the remaining onion until dark golden in color. Drain and reserve separately.

  3. 3

    Put the translucent onion back into the wok and add the ginger-garlic paste. Fry for a few seconds.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle in the spice powders and add the chicken. Stir to seal, until the chicken looks white instead of pink.

  5. 5

    Add about 4 tablespoons hot water, cover the wok and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Gently stir in the cooked rice.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the golden fried onions on top and serve hot.
