Notes
- Use day old rice, it is dryer which gives a better texture to the dish.
- The level of spiciness can be adjusted to your preference. For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chilies or use a milder variety. If you prefer more heat, leave the seeds in or add an extra chili.
- When reheating leftovers, add a little broth or water to the rice to rehydrate it and make the rice creamy again.
