Food trucks and carts have become increasingly popular around the country with large cities boasting cuisines such as korean, mexican, asian, and middle eastern, among the more traditional american fare. New york city may once have been famous for its hot dog carts but, increasingly, the lunch crowd heads to the halal carts for the popular lunch-favorite, halal chicken, roasting on the grill. The aroma of the spices and seared meat is hard to resist. And when you order it, you're handed a large aluminum container filled with a generous amount of yellow rice, the heavily spiced chicken, tomatoes, and greens all drizzled with a white sauce. Fortunately, those flavors are not hard to recreate at home, so you can have halal cart-style chicken even when there are no carts around.
