For an extra layer of flavor, toast the cashews in a dry pan until golden before adding them to the rice. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute ghee (clarified butter) for the vegetable oil. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a pop of color and freshness. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock.
