Yemen, nestled away in the southern end of the Arabain Peninsula, basks in the glory of being the roots of this generous chicken mixed rice dish, considered a national dish in all the countries across the Arabian Peninsula, including the subject Sultanate of Oman. For those who have had a taste of Indian cuisine, Majboos may be immediately reminiscent of the world-renowned biryani, for it is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine (also Persian cuisine). In delectable Omani cuisine, where there’s absolutely no shortage of rice dishes, what sets Majboos apart is its extraordinary culinary technique, which reuses the water that was used for cooking meat to cook the yellow-hued long-grain rice, making for a perfect blend of flavours and spices. While chicken is the undisputed choice of meat for the Arab mixed rice dish, lamb, camel meat, fish, shrimp, truffles, and duck meat are also considered occasional substitutes.
