Place 1/2 of the rice and carrots in a pot, add the meat with all the juice, salt and pepper, then the other 1/2 the carrot strips, continue with the chickpeas, followed by raisins, spread the cumin seeds and finally the rice.
Cover with water and bring to boil. Then cover and continue cooking for 45 minutes.
On the serving plate, arrange all ingredients on the rice.
