Step 2
Next, add curry, paprika, black pepper, turmeric, and sauté the chicken well until it changes color.

After the chicken changes color and is slightly fried, cut the mushrooms into slices and add them to the pan. Sauté the mushrooms until their liquid evaporates and they are slightly cooked.

Pour a cup of hot water and brewed saffron into the pan, put the lid on, and let the ingredients cook well.

To prepare the pilaf, firstly, soak the rice for one to two hours. Then fill a pot halfway with water and put it on high heat to bring it to a boil. Then add lemon juice, a generous pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of oil to the water.
Step 7
Add the rice to the water and bring the water to a simmer. Then turn the heat to low and let the water evaporate. Then add the chicken mixture to the pot and mix it with the rice. Cover the lid with a towel and let it steam until the rice is done and the liquid is fully absorbed. Your Greek rice is ready now. Prepare some and enjoy.
