Ingredients:

225g basmati rice, well washed
1 chicken, cut into serving-sized pieces
thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and thinly-sliced
1 large onion, sliced
12 black peppercorns
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
60g butter or ghee
4 bay leaves (or Indian bay leaves, if you can get them)

Method:

Melt the butter or ghee in a pan, add the onions and fry until golden brown. Now add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

Pour over enough water to just cover the ingredients, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken is completely tender.

During cooking the rice should absorb all the liquid. Serve hot.
