Tips
You could add some roasted peanuts and/or cashew nuts to the rice. One could reduce the green chillies and add red chilli powder instead.  This comes out great if the rice is open cooked instead of pressure cooking it – though pressure cooking is good too :) Sometimes, I like to cut the potatoes like french fries and fry them up before making this rice (yummy ;) ) Basmati rice works good or any long grain rice can be used.
