Recipe Tips

To make this dish even more flavorful, toast the spices in a dry pan before adding them to the pot. This will release their oils and intensify their flavors. If you don't have basmati rice, you can use any long-grain rice such as jasmine or white rice. Make sure to soak the rice before cooking to remove excess starch and ensure that the grains cook evenly.
