Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown
For Rice

In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat, add the cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and black seeds. Stir-fry for a minute until they start to sizzle and release their aroma

Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet and stir-fry over high heat for about 4 minutes. Make sure to break up any clumps of rice and evenly distribute the spices
