5. Let it fry for a moment, then add the ground coriander, the spinach, and the chicken cut into pieces. So that it can be cooked during the boiling process (for this you have to add 2 cups of water).
6. Once boiled; we check the cooking of the meat, and we remove it from the cooking, to add two cups of rice, the peas, the chopped carrot, and a pinch of black beer (remember that this is optional).

Note: The meat can be cooked directly from the frying with oil, but in this recipe, it is made in two types of preparations. The first, in the frying, and two in the cooking before the rice; however, you can do it directly by frying without adding more steps. Remember that in procedure seven, one more cup of water is added, since the boiling decreases the water.
