Rice: Different types of rice absorb water differently, so you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in this recipe depending on the variety you use. This recipe uses white long-grain basmati rice.
Coconut milk: You can substitute the coconut milk for long-life cow's milk or any other plant-based milk.
Cinnamon: It doesn't matter whether you use cinnamon leaves or sticks. You can also use ground cinnamon; add it to the pot with the nutmeg and vanilla extract.
Sweeteners: You may need to use more sugar or condensed milk if you like your food really sweet. Start with the amount provided and go from there. Also, you can use either if you don't want both.
