This is a very flavourful and tasty rice. My mom, dad, my brother and me, we've all loved it. I used 1 3/4 cup of green onions and 3 1/2 cups of vegetable stock(instead of chicken broth, in order to make it vegetarian).I used black pepper instead of cayenne pepper. Also, I suggest not to discard the bay leaf at the end but to allow it to remain in the rice so that it's wonderful smell remains for a longer time in the rice. This was the best dish I made today for the Zaar Cook A Thon! Thank you!!

This recipe is just delicious, taking advice from the reviewers, I use to add a leek also for improved flavour, I've cooked it a few times now and gets better every time, once I served it with pork chops topped with peanut butter sauce and the result couldnt be other than a heavenly dish. Thanks for sharing.
