  • Heat ½ cup of neutral oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

  • In the same pot, toss in the chopped onions and green onions. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  • Add the peas and carrots, and mix everything well.
  • Pour in the washed and drained basmati rice and add the lemon juice. Stir well to coat with the peas mixture.
  • Gently place the seared chicken thighs back on top of the rice. Pour in the chicken stock.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Cover with aluminum foil and the lid, cook until the rice is fluffy and the chicken is fully cooked through.
