8 steps
  1. 01

    Heat the vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and pale gold.

  2. 02

    Add the tomato and tomato paste and cook until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.

  3. 03

    Stir in the baharat, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thigh and turn it in the sauce so it is well coated.

  4. 04

    Pour in the chicken stock, then add the carrot and potato. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the chicken is tender and at least 74°C (165°F) and the vegetables are fully cooked.

  5. 05

    Arrange the torn raqaq bread in a deep serving dish.

  6. 06

    Ladle the hot stew over the raqaq bread, making sure enough broth is added to soften the bread without making it mushy.

  7. 07

    Let the dish stand for a few minutes so the bread absorbs the broth.

  8. 08

    Scatter the fresh coriander over the dish and serve immediately.
