EGYPTIAN CHICKEN & TURMERIC BASMATI RICE

My Egyptian chicken and turmeric basmati rice recipe is a labor of love, inspired by a street vendor we found during our wanderings around New York City.

After returning home, I couldn't resist the challenge of recreating those mouthwatering flavours. The secret? A peppered white sauce that adds a creamy kick, and a drizzle of homemade chili oil for that perfect spicy touch. Topped with the freshness of shredded iceberg lettuce and a cucumber tomato salad, this dish is so stinking good!
