Details
You need to cook rice only if you have a few hours for it. It will not be possible to cook a fragrant and tasty pilaf in a hurry.
So that the rice does not turn out to be sticky and sticky, it must be washed, then poured with water and left for half an hour.
During this time, the rice will lose its starchiness. Pour out the cloudy water.
Do not rub the rice with your fingers when you wash it. This makes the rice cakes sticky.
It is not necessary to cook rice for a long time. It is better to leave the rice raw than overcooked. In the first case, it is possible to save the situation, in the second, it is unlikely.
Do not forget that you need to buy special rice for pilaf. A pack of cheap rice from the supermarket is unlikely to serve as a good base for pilaf.
Better go to the market and buy rice by weight. Sellers will tell you what varieties and types of rice there are.
There should be as much meat in the pilaf as there is rice, if you add less, you will get porridge with pieces of meat, not pilaf. So don't break the recipe.
