Cook the rice with the turmeric according to the packet instructions. Heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and brown the chicken pieces for 8 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the same saucepan and fry the onions until golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and bay leaves.

Mix the rice in the chicken mixture and cook until the meat is warmed through.
