- For the Dragon Ball character, see Pilaf
Pilaf, (Turkish pilav, Greek πιλάφι, also spelt pilau, plof, pullao, pullaw etc.) is a Middle Eastern dish of rice cooked in a seasoned broth. Depending on the local cuisine it may also contain a variety of meat and vegetables. The word pilau is of Persian origin. In the Indian version of the dish, basmati rice is used.
Biryani is an Indian dish very similar to pilaf. It is made from basmati or similar aromatic rice. This is an original mughal dish introduced to India during the mughal period.
Note also the relationship to Spanish 'Paella', so it covers the whole extent of the Arab empire in its prime. Probably therefore a standard moorish/arab method for cooking rice - with no wasted water.
