I'm giving this recipe 2 stars because it was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a total fail. The rice was undercooked and the beans were overcooked. I don't think I'll be trying this one again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice and beans turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much coconut milk.

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I had to tone it down by adding some plain yogurt.
