Machboos is commonly prepared with chicken, lamb, or fish. The meat is first marinated in a spice blend that includes cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and black pepper. After that, the rice is cooked in a broth made from the meat and vegetables.
When the rice is finished cooking, it is topped with the meat and vegetables. The dish is frequently served with tomato sauce and raita, a yogurt-based condiment.
Machboos is a tasty and versatile dish. It is suitable for both a casual meal and a special occasion.
