The Bahraini Madrouba instructions
Put the chicken pieces in a saucepan and pour enough water over the pieces to cover them. Place the saucepan over medium heat. When the water boils, reduce heat and remove the fatty liquid on the top..
Fry the onions and garlic with oil in a saucepan over medium heat until they turn golden then add in the rice, tomatoes, green pepper and coriander. Stir the ingredients well..
Add the rice and vegetables mixture to the saucepan then add the tomato paste, pepper and salt. Stir often so that the rice won’t stick in the bottom of the saucepan and the ingredients get mixed well..
When the ingredients start to boil, cover the saucepan tightly and leave over low heat until the chicken is cooked. You can add more hot water and salt if the rice hasn’t cooked or softened yet..
Hit the ingredients with a wooden spoon towards the sides of the saucepan (that’s why it is called Madrouba, which comes from the word “hit” in arabic) until the chicken combines with rice and all the ingredients become mashed and homogeneous. You can use a typical “madrab” or wooden garlic crusher instead of the wooden spoon..
Pour the Madrouba in a serving bowl and serve hot..
