This all-in-one pot Indian meal was prepared on the Big Pig using a camp oven. Despite there being a few stages to this recipe, with a bit of preparation, this is a good recipe for the campsite or at home when feeding a small army using just the one pot.
INGREDIENTS
Chicken:
¾ cup ghee
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoon ground green cardamom
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup water
1 cup onion paste
2 ½ tablespoons almond meal
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
1 ½ teaspoons poppyseeds
2 teaspoons red chilli powder
1KG diced chicken
¾ cup natural yoghurt, whisked
2 teaspoons salt

3 cinnamon sticks
7 green cardamom pods
2 ½ tablespoons ghee
2 brown onions, sliced
1 teaspoon kewra water or rosewater
¾ cup cream
3 tablespoons raisins
Fried onions/shallots
Method:
- Prep the Ozpig for a medium heat.
- Combine the saffron and milk in a small bowl and retain for cooking the rice
- For the chicken, heat ghee in your pot. Add the spices, onion paste, almond meal, poppy seeds, garlic, ginger and water then cook out for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken, stir and cook out for around 7 minutes until the chicken is sealed.
- Let the heat reduce, add the yoghurt, cook out for around 10 minutes until the chicken has cooked through and a smooth sauce has formed.
- Remove the chicken and sauce from the pot/camp oven and retain for later. Clean your pot for later.
- Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the rice, cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. Boil for around 12 minutes until rice is ¾ cooked and water is absorbed. Remove the rice and retain for later, give your pot a clean for the next step of the cook.
- Heat the ghee, add the sliced onions and sauté for around 5 minutes until golden brown the remove from the pan.
- Layer the pan with cooked rice, onions and chicken then poor over the saffron milk, cream and kewra water.
- Seal the pot with foil and a tight-fitting lid. Position the pot in a warm position either over hot coal or on the Ozpig’s warming plate. Allow the rice to cook through for around 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid, adjust the seasoning, garnish with raisins then dish up. We served this dish with a pineapple raiter and some spiced picked onions.
