Well, when I was working on my Lamb Rogan Josh recipe, I decided I would have a bash at making my own pilau rice and do you know what I discovered?

In the British Indian restaurants and takeaways, pilau rice is often served in curry houses as a side dish to a curry. Ingredients

Alternatively you can do what I do when making this rice for a dinner party – I prep the rice up to the point of actually tipping the rice into the pan (i.e. the onions, spices etc.) before my guests arrive. And just leave the pan sitting on the side. Then 15-20 mins before the rice is needed, all I have to do is tip in the rice and water, bring to a boil, turn down, cover and leave it for 8 minutes, then just turn it off until it’s needed.

To make sure you get lovely fluffy rice, wash it in several changes of cold water, then leave to soak for about 30 minutes in fresh cold water. If you don't have time for this, place in a sieve and wash under the cold tap for a minute or so.

Piling is an excellent way to introduce your grains and vegetables to a dish because it can be used in a variety of ways, including arborio or basmati rice, a variety of spices, and a combination of both. This whole grain is also high in fiber and protein. Pilau is a delicious side dish that is a filling and hearty meal. What Does Rice Pilaf Pair Well With? The best way to add flavor to rice is to use a liquid other than water (such as broth or bouillon), or to stir in fresh herbs, dried fruits, peas, nuts, or other flavors and colors.
