Let the marinated chicken sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or longer if possible.

Prepare the white sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons cream, 1 tablespoon tahini, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of dried herbs in a bowl, then add 1/4 cup water to thin it out.

In a pan, heat 1/4 cup oil and add 1 finely chopped onion, cooking until soft but not browned.

Add 1 teaspoon ginger and 1 teaspoon garlic paste to the onions and cook for 1 minute.

Splash some water into the pan and cover for 1 minute.

Add whole spices and mix, then add 1/4 cup peas and 3 cups pre-soaked rice, followed by 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon food color.

Mix everything and cover the pot, letting it boil.

Once boiling, mix in the rice gently and cover again for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, check the rice; if there's still water, gently stir with a spoon and cover for another 5 minutes on medium heat until fully cooked.

In a separate heated pan, add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 10 minutes on one side.

Flip the chicken to the other side and cook until nicely browned.

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Assemble the dish by placing rice in a bowl, followed by the sliced chicken, chopped onions, and tomatoes, and drizzle with the prepared white sauce.
