Smoked Chicken Mandi!

Hello! Hope you're doing well! I haven't posted here for a while now lol! Excuse me I am limited with time and hadn't had the time to cook anything new! This recipe is an old one I have done it a while ago so I apologize there aren't any pictures of the exact steps!
but it is easy to follow and really good for a delicious impressive lunch meal ;)
here we go ♡

Ingredients:

• A whole chicken cleaned and cut into parts.
• Onions cut into small pieces
• garlic & ginger beaten and mixed
• Cinnamon (1 stick), cumin, cardamoms (هيل 5-7 pieces is enough) , kurkum, black pepper & salt.
• olive oil & red pasta sauce
• 1&1/2 tea spoon curry powder
• Maggi (optional)
• rice (washed and soaked under water for about half an hour)
• potatoes if you would like.

Steps:

1. In a deep pot fry the onions and then add the ginger & garlic till it gets a red-ish color then add the chicken (seasoned to preference, salt & pepper )
2. After step one wait for about 10 minutes (so that the chicken-ish flavor tones down) then add the spices (cumin, kurkum, curry powder,cardemums, cinnamon & black pepper)
3. Add half a piece of maggi (optionary) or just salt then in the same pot pour water just enough to cover all the chicken & close on the pot with its lid.
4. Wait until you see the chicken is cooked then remove the chicken pieces. (you will now cook the rice using this water that is in the pot.)
5. Add the rice to the same pot. (The water mix in pot must cover all the rice)
6. While waiting for the rice to get cooked, in a small bowl mix red pasta sauce with olive oil then grease the top of the chicken pieces with it and into the oven till the chicken has that good red-ish color from top (as shown in the picture)
   * at first the oven is heated only from the bottom part and in the last couple of minutes you close that and open the upper part of the oven.
7.  Fry some seasoned potatoes cut into small quarters to be added to the dish. ( I used potato seasoning mix I bought from carrefour)
8. When the water in the rice pot dries out mix the rice by bringing the bottom portion upwards and taking the upper portion downwards using a big spoon, do that every now and then.
9. When the chicken is ready off the oven, and the rice is ready, and the potatoes are ready, you top the rice with the chicken pieces & potatoes while it is in the pot. Keep the pot under very low fire, squeeze into the rice a small cup (فنجان) of olive oil & drop in it a small piece of heated cole (فحم) as shown in the picture. You do this so that the food gets a smoked grilled flavor.
10. Right away after doing step 9 you close on the pot with aluminum and its lid. Wait 15 minutes and your food is ready! (The aluminum must already have been set to be quickly closed, cause you don't want to lose the smoke)
11. ENJOY ;) 

*I cooked for 3 people here so I did not use a whole chicken I used chicken breasts.
*You can eat it with a side of yogurt mixed with cucumber & black pepper.

Seems like alot of huge steps right ? but it is just alot of explanation, it really is easy stuff haha xD.
