Cut the chicken in half.

Heat the water and leave aside.

In a small bowl, mix the buharat, turmeric, cumin, and cardamom together and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture on the chicken halves.

Heat oil in a large cooking pan, fry the onions until golden brown, then add the pepper and the black limes (make a hole in each lime).

Add the chicken to the onion mixture and turn it over a few times in the pan. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and the rest of the mixed spices on the chicken. Turn the contents together so the chicken is coated with the spices, cover the pan and let it cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.

Add the garlic, chopped ginger, and tomato cubes to the pan and turn the ingredients a few times. Cover again for 3 minutes on medium heat.

Sprinkle with the rest of the salt and pour on hot water.

Cover the pan and let it cook for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked. Add the chopped coriander 5 minutes before removing the chicken from the stock in the pan.

Wash the rice well and soak for 10 minutes in cold water, then drain.

Remove the chicken from the pan and put on an oven tray, brush with some oil and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon powder and grill in the oven until the chicken is golden brown.

Add the rice to the chicken stock, stir, then let it cook on low heat until the rice absorbs the stock and is almost done.

Sprinkle rose water and lemon juice over the rice and place butter pieces on top. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.

Serve the rice on a large serving plate and place the grilled chicken halves on top.
