💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use chicken thighs with skin on and remove the skin after cooking.
- ✓If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other spices.
- ✓Ensure the rice is thoroughly rinsed to remove excess starch, which helps prevent the pilaf from becoming gummy.
