- To enhance the flavors, marinate the chicken in a bit of the curry paste and some salt for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Toast the cashews in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the pilaf for an extra crunch and deep flavor.
- Add a splash of coconut milk when cooking the rice if you prefer a creamier texture.
Once your curried chicken pilaf is cooked to perfection, garnish it with some fresh cilantro or parsley and serve it warm. This dish is sure to be a hit with its robust flavors and satisfying textures. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious homemade meal!
