We love rice and are always looking for new ways to make it - this recipe is adapted from a cookbook called "Favorite Vegetarian Dishes". It is very fragrant and looks beautiful when served.

I'm allergic to coconut. Is there anything I can substitute it with?

This recipe is too complicated. I don't have time to make something like this on a weeknight.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This rice was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
