Note

For a richer flavor, sauté the onions and garlic in a little oil before adding them to the cooked rice.

You can substitute white basmati rice for a faster cooking time, reducing the simmer time to about 15-20 minutes.

This dish stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Adjust the amount of red chile to suit your preference for heat.
