Rice for pilaf

We go to a regular supermarket and buy high-quality rice   basmati. Again, I will say in secret, my mother and grandmother cooked pilaf from ordinary Krasnodar rice - it was very tasty!

About homemade chicken

Chicken should be big and fat. When you look at it, a thought should appear in your brain: “This is not a chicken, this is a boar!” A home chicken is a home chicken. It does not replace anything. Better can be pilaf only from the fat-tailed lamb. Pilaf loves fatty meat. Therefore, if you use factory broiler, add more vegetable oil. And remember the main rule of home cooking - missing ingredients are compensated by love and the desire to bring joy to loved ones!  This rule works at 100%, and always and without exception, tested by experience.

Step-by-step photo cooking recipe:

When a good chicken kilogram happens in the house for two - two and a half, I divide it into two parts. From one I cook for, and from another a second dish, for example, pilaf. If you have a small chicken, then cook pilaf from whole chicken, from this it will only taste better. In ideal terms, the ratio of basic ingredients (meat, rice, vegetables) should be approximately the same.

Chicken need to wash,  to dry  paper towel and if needed   remove remaining pen.

Dividechicken   into pieces,  salt  and   pepper.

Cook vegetables: chop the onions and carrots. For this pilaf, I cut large carrots with a figure knife, which I got from my mother and who has been scared for many years. But you can, of course, cut and ordinary knife, you can grate.


You will also need   garlic - whole head, from which it is necessary to remove the top layer of husk and wash well.

Fry the chicken pieces


  fry carrots  2 minutes.


Add to carrots   bow  10 minutes.


fried onions, carrots  and vegetable oil.


Lay on top and   allspice-peas.


Fill all with boiling water 1-1.5 hoursto soften the meat.


For pilaf, I usually use ground cumin,  ground coriander, sage or a mixture of Italian herbs, and   barberry.


They can be added either along with the rice, or while stewing the chicken.


Since the chickens are of different maturity, then 40 minutes after the start of quenching, take out a piece and try, if the meat is already tender, then you can throw rice, if it is still hard, then put the chicken out to softness.


While the chicken is stewing, reassemble, separate the unwanted impurities and rinse it several times. It is convenient to do this by putting the rice in a colander and placing it in a bowl of water. Rinse the rice under running water, stirring with your hands, lift the colander and drain the water from the bowl. Repeat everything several times, so no risk will run away from you. After threshing and grinding, rice powder remains on the rice grains, so wash it well.


Washed (3 glasses) add to pot over chicken with vegetables.  But before that, necessarily. This is very important, it should be   well salty, even salty, with the expectation that part of the salt will absorb rice.



  Smooth out  rice with a spoon and lightly drown. No need to mix. The liquid above the rice should be about 2-3 cm.


Cover the pan with a lid., let him do it a little more (3-5 minutes), turn off the fire. Immediately pilau not eat, he   must brew  30 minutes so that all the liquid finally absorbed into the rice.


Plov should be juicy. It depends on the amount of fat and the amount of water that together forms a juicy broth, and on the variety of rice. The feeling of harmony comes with experience, so do not despair if at first your pilaf turns out to be dry - this often happens even with experienced cooks. As my friend says after the next failed pies: “We must bake more often!”
  Cook pilaf more often and you will definitely get such beauty and taste!

The rice is juicy and crumbly, the rice is separated from the rice, the meat is tender, melts in the mouth, the sweetness of onions and carrots ... And this unforgettable aroma of spices!


Eat a garlic and a hot pepper for decoration! Enjoy your meal!

Such a well-known and popular dish, like pilaf, has an ancient origin and goes back to Central Asia and India with its origins.

Nowadays, this dish has become particularly popular in the countries of the Near and Middle East, as well as in some regions of the South Caucasus.

Despite the huge number of recipes for cooking pilaf, all of them are characterized by the presence of one small feature, which consists in combining two groups of ingredients: different types of meat (Zivrak) and a certain type of cereal.

The most common cooking method in Russia is the combination of lamb and rice with the addition of various spices and seasonings, and in more modern version  lamb is replaced by chicken.

To learn how to cook chicken pilaf correctly, you need to be patient and feel free to get down to business.

Criteria for choosing rice for pilaf

Well-chosen rice can not only create the right texture of the dish and perfect appearance, but also completely change the taste.

The most common types of rice for cooking pilaf are solid varieties with elongated grains of white.

The use of crushed or polished rice can lead to the fact that instead of the eastern treat you get ordinary porridge.

  • only loose rice  the correct form, which does not stick together and does not burn during cooking, has the right to become the constituent ingredient of such a dish as pilaf;
  • during cooking, the grain should increase in volume;
  • ideal are medium-grained and long-grained varieties having an oblong or elongated shape;
  • ideal rice should not have a smooth, but slightly ribbed surface;
  • while cooking this delicious dish, water, fat and spices should be absorbed into the grain of the cereal, thereby filling the dish with a unique aroma.

Preparing food and dishes

The ideal dish, which is suitable for making this pilaf, is considered a cauldron or any other container, which is a deep thick-walled form.

It is advisable to cook this dish in a cast iron pan.

It will ensure uniform heating of the cereals and all other components of the ingredients.

The use of dishes with thin walls and bottom will lead to the fact that the rice will constantly burn and its appearance will be completely unattractive.

The most important component in the dish is Zivrak, which is a traditional roast of meat, onions and carrots.

Carrots are better to cut into straws, and not grated, as most housewives used to do.

For cooking pilaf with chicken, you can use both the poultry carcass and its fillets, which are pre-cut into large pieces, since smaller pieces of this tender meat can simply fall apart.

In order to make the dish crumbly, you need to use the following tips for preparing rice:

  • getting rid of gluten grits allows its thorough washing in several waters;
  • washed grains should be dried in a usual colander or with a clean towel;
  • to get an original and unusual taste, grits should be slightly roasted over low heat.

Quick recipe for pilaf with minced chicken

For lovers of pilaf, who are always in a hurry and never have time to do anything, I would like to suggest quick recipe  with the addition of minced chicken.

On a small amount of sunflower oil, chopped onions and carrots are passed on to a golden color, to which a tablespoon of tomato paste and 100 g of water are sent and continue to stew all the ingredients together.

Rice is washed several times until the water is clear and then added to the stewed vegetables.

Rice with vegetables are laid out in a prepared container - minced meat and so several times in a row, boiling water is poured in proportions of 1: 1 and put on the fire for further cooking.

After the dish boils, add a few cloves of garlic, salt and various spices to taste.

Now the whole mass can be mixed, covered with a lid and left on low heat until cooked completely.

When the dish is ready, it should be removed from the heat and left for a few minutes without opening the lid, which will allow excess liquid to be absorbed into the pic.

Condiments and additives to the dish


Depending on the seasonings used, Asian and European pilaf are distinguished.

The basis of the first type are spices such as zera and barberry, and the second is prepared with the addition of paprika, black pepper and various herbs.

Zera is a seed of Indian cumin, which is characterized by its small size and dark color, as well as a very sharp and pleasant aroma.

It is better to use whole grains, which will give the pilaf a pleasant taste.

Barberry is a source of vitamin C, and also contains citric, malic and tartaric acid.

It should be added as a whole, thus avoiding the sour taste that appears in violation of the integrity of the berries.

At the heart of European seasoning is a set of ingredients such as: salt, black pepper, paprika, onion and garlic.

This mixture gives the dish brown color, and also highlights the taste of pilaf from the Asian version of the dish.

For homemade pilaf  Chicken can also use ready-made spice mixes, which are widely offered by the retail chain.

  1. Adding to the water for washing the cereal 1 tablespoon of salt will allow you to completely wash off the powder from it and protect it from crumbling;
  2. Stirring 1 teaspoon of melted rice butter  will save dishes from over-salty taste;
  3. Purely washed dishes will not allow the mass to burn;
  4. A small amount of vinegar will relieve the taste of under-salted rice.
