For a richer flavor, try using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
If you prefer a milder spice level, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.
Basmati rice can be substituted for long-grain white rice, but may require a slightly different cooking time. Adjust liquid accordingly.
Consider adding other vegetables like diced bell peppers or peas for added color and nutrition.

    The spice combination is wonderful. I reduced the amount of jalapeño because I'm sensitive to spice, and it was still delicious.

  • Marie Cartwright

    I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a can of drained diced tomatoes for extra flavor.

  • Billy Stoltenberg

    Easy to follow and the rice came out perfectly fluffy. My family loved it with grilled chicken.

  • Shanelle Aufderhar

    This recipe is fantastic! The aroma while it's cooking is incredible. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
