For a richer flavor, try using coconut milk instead of water. A pinch of cardamom or a bay leaf added during cooking can enhance the aromatic profile. If you prefer a less sweet rice, reduce the amount of sugar to your liking. This rice pairs perfectly with Bobotie, a traditional South African minced meat dish.
