This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pilaf turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped broccoli and carrots, and it was delicious.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I like to add some crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts on top.
