Emratie Chicken and Rice (Machboos or Fogga)

We really enjoy this, masha Allah (praise be to God). This is a traditional dish of the United Arab Emirates. It can be made with meat, fish and shrimp as well, cooking times adjusted. It says it is always served with radishes, freshly sliced onion, sliced limes and dates though I can’t testify to the authenticity of that I added raisins to the dish and did not serve dates but with sliced limes and sometimes a radish salad and Recipe #387327. I modified this off of http://www.fahad.com/Dishes but I really had to figure out the original recipe on my own first as it was poorly written. — posted by UmmBinat
