Combine and Serve

Add 1/4 cup of whisked yogurt to the masala after the tomatoes have cooked down for a creamier texture and tangy flavor. Cook until oil separates before adding the rice.
Use brown basmati rice instead of white. You will need to increase the water to about 3 cups and cook for a longer duration, around 35-40 minutes.
Incorporate 1 cup of mixed vegetables like peas, carrots, and beans. Add them after sautéing the onions and cook for a few minutes before adding the tomatoes.
