  3. I used Basmati long grain rice from Costco(zafarani brand)
  4. Vegans can use vegan Yogurt or add extra tomatoes. 
  5. Adjust the spices and green chilies to your taste
  6. If you don't have baby potatoes, you can add cut regular potatoes
  7. If you don't have whole spices then substitute them with 1.5 tsps of Garam masala
