If you cook pilaf incorrectly, instead of a luxurious crumbly dish you can get stuck cereal that doesn’t look very appetizing.
Therefore, it is important to follow some important guidelines.
What do they consist of?
Choose special rice
In order for your homemade pilaf to resemble the traditional dish as much as possible, it is important to choose a special type of rice that is originally intended for cooking pilaf.
Such cereals hold their shape well. As a rule, such varieties include Devzira, Laser and other varieties. Some manufacturers indicate directly on the packages that the rice is suitable for pilaf.
Preparing the cereal
Experienced cooks never leave rice without due attention before cooking. Most often, the grain is simply washed and put into water for 20 minutes.
This rice will cook much better.
As a result, the pilaf will be tasty, beautiful and crumbly, and you will be able to forget about stuck cereals once and for all.
Amount of water
When preparing pilaf, it is extremely important to observe the proportions. If you pour in more water than necessary, the grain will certainly stick together.
Therefore, try to adhere to the classic recommendations: one part of cereal is taken for two parts of liquid.
