yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt offers a thicker texture and tanginess.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic paste to the butter and sauté until the raw smell disappears.

Add chicken thighs, keeping the skin on, and ensure the pieces are large.

Cover the pan to let the chicken release its juices for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, flip each piece of chicken to cook the other side for another 10 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, and a pinch of red chili powder to the chicken and stir.

Cover the pan again and cook for another 10 minutes while preparing the rice.

In another pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add 1 cup of vermicelli, stirring until golden brown.

Add 2 glasses of water and 2 chicken cubes to the pot.

Soak 1 cup of basmati rice in water for 10-15 minutes, then add it to the boiling water.

Stir the rice and cover the pot, allowing it to cook until done.

Check the chicken, ensuring the oil has released and the water has evaporated, then add chopped medium-sized onion to the chicken and mix well.

Serve the rice on a plate, garnishing with fresh parsley, and place the chicken on top.
