Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cardamom and cumin seeds, stirring until fragrant, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground beef and diced chicken, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in rice, coating it with oil, then add canned tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
