7. Mix the turmeric powder, add the water, then cover the pot.


8. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed.


9. Remove the cover and fluff the bulgur and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Season with the salt and mix well. Add the lemon juice, chopped almonds, chopped fresh coriander and raisins. Gently mix until well incorporated.


10. Check the chicken. Remove it from the oven and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes if cooked.
