🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free or vegan needs, replace the yogurt with a plain unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt. If you avoid seeds, skip the pepitas and use toasted cashews or sunflower seeds instead, or leave them off entirely.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm naan or roti and a simple cucumber-tomato salad to round out the spiced rice and creamy yogurt. A lemon wedge or mango chutney adds brightness and a sweet-tangy contrast without overpowering the dish.
