The solution may be to cook the tice on the lowest setting for 15-20 minutes until it is just cooked, or if unavoidable, we just have to throw out the burnt parts. <br />Afwan and welcome back :)Maryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661997214924178794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-7685961303100523502016-01-08T11:02:18.623+03:002016-01-08T11:02:18.623+03:00not sure if my comment posted...so im trying again...not sure if my comment posted...so im trying again...I am new the Middle eastern kitchen through marriage and find it amazing...this recipe is superb...but each time i make it( 3 times now)..my rice scorches on bottom . the rest is fine...I assume this is from the tomato in it as my other rich dishes dont do this..does this happen to you and any way to avoid it..shukran in advance..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-48941871458471509772016-01-08T10:35:43.340+03:002016-01-08T10:35:43.340+03:00 this is so delicious...I know this is silly ques... this is so delicious...I know this is silly question but im new to the Middle Eastern kitchen..when I make this dish, three times now..my rice catches at bottom and scorches. the rest is delicious.im sure its from the tomato paste. does this always happen to you too?..any way to avoid this..shukranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-82317306960551057652015-10-22T10:24:36.845+03:002015-10-22T10:24:36.845+03:00Afwan!

In the same pot the chicken was seared in, I saute the onion and the spices, before returning the chicken to the pot.<br />If you want to make it more saucy, do not cook the rice in the sauce of the chicken. Rather, leave the chicken in its sauce, and cook the rice separately using fresh water or broth. That way you have the chicken saloona and rice.Maryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661997214924178794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-52841757715033557872014-11-23T09:39:00.306+03:002014-11-23T09:39:00.306+03:00I've made this a few times now, i love it, but...I've made this a few times now, i love it, but i was just wondering where you add the onions?<br />Also, is there a way to make it more saucy, my other half likes saloona with his riceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507893029704951581.post-13842660903611364122014-07-03T20:58:11.749+03:002014-07-03T20:58:11.749+03:00I have never actually cooked red rice; our Iraqi r...I have never actually cooked red rice; our Iraqi red rice is regular white rice made red using tomato paste.
