KOHNEN'S BIRYANI SUPREMO Two Servings About 550 Calories each 1 TBSP Oil 2/3 Cup Long Grain Rice (Texmati or Indian Basmati best) 4 Cloves 2" Piece Cinnamon 1 Tsp Ground Cumin 1 Tsp Ground Turmeric 1/2 Tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper 1 1/4 Cups Chicken Broth (1 can) 1 Salam Leaf or Bay Leaf 1/3 Cup Golden Raisins, Raisins or Both About as much Cooked Chicken as you will get off Two Thighs 2 Hard Boiled Eggs 2 or 3 Tomatoes Fried Onion Flakes Heat the Oil in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan over Med. High heat 'til hot. Add the rice and stir until it begins to brown, now add the Cloves, Cinnamon, Cumin, Turmeric, and Pepper and stir for a minute or so. Pour in the Broth, add the Salam or Bay Leaf, Bring to a rapid boil then cover and reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Simmer for about 40 minutes. stir in the Chicken and Raisins, cover again and let sit, off the stove, for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with Egg slices and Tomato slices and the Onion Flakes. This is the basic Receipt. For variety try a Tsp of Ground Chili instead of the Black Pepper. Other meats could be substituted for the Chicken. Indonesian Crisp Beef is quite good with this, use it as a garnish instead of mixing in with the rice. Try anything you like, but don't put anything in to cook along with the rice, it might upset the liquid ratio and spoil things. The rice should come out with the grains seperate and no stickiness. FRIED ONION FLAKES Heat one Tablespoon Oil in a heavy frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1/2 Cup Dried Onion Flakes and stir until brown and crisp. Stores well in an airtight container.
