About Pulav

Pulav, also known as pilaf, is a fragrant rice dish that originates from South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Typically, long-grain rice is cooked with an aromatic blend of spices such as cumin, cloves, and cinnamon, alongside sautéed onions and garlic for added flavor. Pulav often includes vegetables like peas, carrots, and beans, making it a nutrient-dense option. Protein sources such as paneer, chicken, or lentils can be added for a more balanced meal. The dish is commonly garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or mint, nuts, or raisins for texture and a touch of sweetness. While Pulav is rich in carbohydrates due to the rice, its nutritional value depends on the cooking method and choice of ingredients. Opting for minimal oil and whole-grain rice can make it heart-healthier, but creamy or heavily fried variations may increase fat content.
