Some rice dishes don’t just satisfy — they tell a story of warmth, spice, and celebration. And nothing completes that experience quite like ZAFF Chicken Kabsa. With fragrant basmati rice, tender chicken, bold Arabian spices, and a delicate mist of ZAFF Aroma Spray, every serving is rich, golden, and unforgettable. Perfect for gatherings or a comforting family feast.

Method

Sauté chopped onion in oil with whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves) until fragrant and lightly golden.

Add chicken pieces along with the Kabsa spice blend (coriander, cumin, paprika, black pepper, turmeric) and stir for 3 minutes to coat well.

Mix in chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, pour in water or stock, add salt, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and flavorful.

Add washed basmati rice to the pot and cook until the rice is fluffy and fully done, absorbing the rich spiced broth

Lightly spray ZAFF Aroma over the hot rice just before serving, allowing its delicate saffron fragrance to rise beautifully with every warm breath of steam.

Good food doesn’t need to be complicated — just beautifully balanced. Was this your golden winner, chef?
