For an extra layer of flavor, toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute or two before adding them to the rice. Feel free to experiment with other spices such as chili powder, smoked paprika, or turmeric to customize the flavor profile. If you prefer fresh cilantro, add it after the rice is cooked to preserve its vibrant color and flavor. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or vegetarian entrees.
