Sauté onions, garlic, and whole spices (cardamom, cloves, cinnamon) in oil.

Add chicken pieces and brown them on all sides.

Add pureed tomatoes, grated carrots, and water; simmer until the chicken is cooked.

Remove the chicken and roast in the oven for a crispy skin.

Add washed basmati rice to the spiced broth and cook until the liquid is absorbed.

Serve the rice on a large platter with the chicken, toasted nuts, and raisins.
