🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the sour cream for a plain plant-based yogurt or dairy-free crema. If you want less heat, use a mild chili sauce or omit the hot sauce and add extra lemon for freshness.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or simply steamed greens to brighten the sweet-spiced rice and chickpeas. Warm flatbread or naan also works well for scooping up the creamy, tangy bits.
