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

I added some chopped cilantro to the rice before serving. It added a nice fresh flavor.

I didn't have any basmati rice on hand, so I used long grain white rice instead. It worked out just fine.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of cumin, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The other flavors were strong enough to balance out the cumin.

I've tried many jeera rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of cumin seeds really takes it to the next level.
