To make the pilaf tasty and crumbly, you need to follow the cooking technology.
In particular, it is extremely important to add water to the pilaf correctly.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, a chef and a fourth-class baker, talks about the nuances of adding water to pilaf.
The main rule is to underfill rather than overfill. If necessary, you can always add more water, but too much will turn the pilaf into mush.
If the pilaf is cooked on a gas or electric stove, you can add boiling water.
When cooking pilaf over a fire, when vigorous boiling is undesirable, it is better to use cold water.
