Method

Season the chicken with just salt and saffron so it gets a better colour and a more authentic flavour.
Fry the seasoned chicken in oil.
Remove the chicken pieces from the oil and set them aside, keeping the oil in the pan.
In the same oil, sauté the onion, carrot and bell pepper with turmeric, black pepper, paprika and salt for a few minutes.
Add just 1 tbsp of tomato paste and sauté until its raw taste is gone.
Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables.
Add a little saffron and 2 cups of water.
Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, gently turn the chicken pieces over.
For the topping, sauté the julienned carrots in butter.
Add the barberries and 1 tbsp of sugar and sauté together.
Mix the steamed rice with saffron.
Add the carrot and barberry mixture to the saffron rice and serve with the chicken.
