How to Make Khao Suratan Rice Of The Sultans

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup chicken stock, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and a pinch of saffron threads. Stir to dissolve turmeric and let steep for 5 minutes.
  3. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a casserole dish.
  4. Pour the saffron-infused stock over the chicken.
  5. Cover and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is nearly cooked through.
  6. Remove from oven and gently turn chicken pieces to coat evenly with the saffron stock.
  7. Carefully drain the saffron stock into a glass measuring cup, reserving it.
  8. Keep the chicken warm, covered, in the casserole dish.
  9. To the reserved stock, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons fish sauce, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Stir well and add enough additional chicken stock to reach 3 1/2 cups total liquid.
  11. Add 2 cups long-grain rice, 1 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro to the casserole dish with the chicken.
  12. Pour the spiced stock mixture over the chicken and rice/vegetables, stirring gently to combine.
  13. Cover the casserole dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  14. Taste-test and adjust seasoning. Add more fish sauce if needed for saltiness.
  15. Serve generous portions of rice, chicken, and vegetables. Garnish each serving with fresh coriander/basil, thinly sliced spring onions, and lemon or lime wedges (optional).
