Cook the marinated chicken with butter in a pot for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
10 min10:00 - 6
Cook the rice with cardamom, cinnamon, remaining salt, and chicken stock for 8 minutes, leaving it half-firm.
8 min08:00 - 7

Cover the dish and bake at 175°C for 22 minutes, until the layers unite with steam.
22 min22:00 - 9
Sprinkle with almonds and serve without crushing the rice layers.
💡 Tip: Wash the basmati and soak it for 20 minutes; baldo rice in Turkey will not give the same aroma and makes the layers heavier.
