- โSoaking pigeon peas overnight is recommended for faster cooking.
- โFor a spicier kick, you can prick the scotch bonnet pepper a few times before adding it.
- โEnsure the scotch bonnet pepper is removed before serving if you don't want excessive heat.
- โDon't over-stir the rice once it's added, as this can make it mushy.
