About Palav

Palav, also known as pilaf, is a flavorful rice dish originating from Central and South Asia, with variances popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Typically made with basmati or long-grain rice, it’s cooked in a seasoned broth and often includes a mix of vegetables, meat, or legumes. Common ingredients include onions, carrots, spices like cumin and coriander, and occasionally dried fruits or nuts for added texture and sweetness. Palav is nutrient-rich, as it provides carbohydrates from rice, protein from meat or legumes, and vitamins from vegetables. However, depending on preparation, it can also be high in fat due to oil or ghee and sodium from the seasonings. Lighter versions with reduced oil and added whole grains can make it a balanced, healthful choice. Its aromatic spices also offer potential digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, making Palav not just delicious, but also nourishing.
