In particular, it is extremely important to add water to the pilaf correctly.

How to add 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.
