Tips

  • Kashmiri red chilli powder has a vibrant red color without being too spicy; if using an alternative, adjust the quantity to suit the spice level.
  • Soaking rice beforehand can lead to fluffier rice, but it's optional.
  • Ensure the stock is made with boiling water.
  • Check and adjust the salt level after adding the stock.
  • Make the garlic sauce in advance.
