Cardamom-infused Chicken with Rice

== Description ==
This dish is my ultimate comfort food. Its commonly eaten in winter and during the month of Ramadan for the predawn breakfast,but for me its a regular at least 2 or 3 times a month. Its always served with doggos (Saudi salsa). (Note: in Saudi cuisine the thigh and drumstick is not disjointed and is served as one portion).
== Ingredients ==
* 1¼ kg chicken, with skin on, disjointed and washed
* 4 cups water
* 7 green cardamom (peel the skin slightly so seeds can fall out)

* ¾ cup basmati rice
* 2 cups milk
* 3 tablespoons ghee
* 2 pieces gum arabic (mastikah do not leave it out)
