Swaps and substitutions

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for roasted cauliflower or extra chickpeas and keep the same spiced profile. To avoid dairy, replace the white sauce with a plain dairy-free yogurt or tahini sauce; for tree-nut-free, leave out the pistachios and use pumpkin seeds instead.

What to serve with it

Serve with warm flatbread or pita and a crisp cucumber-tomato salad to round out the spices and make it feel more complete. Extra lemon wedges, pickled onions, or a simple yogurt dip also add freshness beside the rich rice and chicken.
