Saudi Arabian Recipe - Rice with Chicken/Lamb

I have some more Saudi Arabian Recipes to share with you.  This one is for Chicken or lamb.

Rice with Chicken/Lamb (Kabsa)

1 1/4 - 1 3/4 pounds of choice of chicken, lamb
1 3/4 pounds chopped tomatoes
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 pieces of cinnamon sticks
2-3 pieces of dried lime
4-5 pods of cardamon
1 1/2 cups of rice
4 cups boiling water

Cut the meat into medium pieces, wash and drain.
Put oil in saucepan and fry the onions until golden.
Add meat and fry until light brown.
Add tomatoes, boiling water, dried limes and cinnamon.
Cook on low heat until meat is tender.
Rinse rice and add meat.

Liquid should be one half inch above rice.  Cook on high until stock has almost evaporated, then turn down heat to simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes.

Serve hot.

Somehow I think that the order of cooking is mixed up a little bit but you should be able to figure it out.
