Remove the bay leaf. Garnish with the sliced green onions before serving.
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.

Feb 16, 2025The spice combination is wonderful. I reduced the amount of jalapeño because I'm sensitive to spice, and it was still delicious.

Oct 21, 2024I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a can of drained diced tomatoes for extra flavor.
