Tips:
  • I used coyote squash in my recipe. You can substitute with 1/2 potato if you prefer potato instead of squash.
  • Coconut milk is optional. Basmati rice to liquid ratio is 1:2. So, if you prefer to not use coconut milk you can add 4 cups of water.
  • Some of you may not like Garlic or Fennel seeds. You can omit it if you choose to.
