Tips for Making the Best Baked Rice with Green Chilis:

- **Use high-quality ingredients:** Choose fragrant basmati rice, flavorful green chilis, and fresh herbs for the best flavor. Use vegetable broth, chicken broth, or water to adjust the rice's richness and flavor. - **Cook the rice perfectly:** Before baking, cook the rice until it is almost done but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the rice from becoming overcooked and mushy in the oven. - **Don't skimp on the spices:** The spices in this dish add depth and flavor. Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili powder, cumin, and coriander to suit your taste. - **Add some vegetables:** Feel free to add some chopped vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or corn to the rice for extra nutrition and texture. - **Top it off with cheese:** A sprinkling of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese adds a delicious cheesy crust to the baked rice. - **Let it rest before serving:** After baking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the rice to firm up slightly.

Conclusion:

Baked rice with green chilis is an easy and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. With its combination of aromatic rice, spicy green chilis, and flavorful spices, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
