- Next, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft, then add the rice. Pour the chicken stock.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and turmeric. Stir and cook on low heat.
- When the rice is almost cooked, add the almonds and raisins, then stir.
