I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the almonds from this recipe. It was still very tasty.

I didn't have any basmati rice, so I used regular long-grain rice. It still turned out pretty good.

This recipe is way too complicated for me. I'm going to try a different one.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I added some chopped vegetables to this recipe, and it turned out great! I think it would also be good with some nuts or dried fruit.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still delicious!
