Aroz | Goan Pulao | Yellow Goan Pilaf

Aroz is a Goan pilaf, in which beautiful long grains of rice receive their yellow hue from turmeric and are cooked in a broth, flavoured subtly with few spices. It tastes great on its own, but can be coupled with curries like the vindaloo, sorpatel, etc or sides like stews, steaks, meat chops, or the all-time-favorite Goan chorisos.
'अरोज' एक गोअन पुलाव है, जिसमें चावल के खूबसूरत लंबे दाने हल्दी से अपना पीला रंग पाकर शोरबा में पकाया जाता है, कुछ मसालों के साथ। यह अपने आप में ही बहुत अच्छा स्वाद देता है, लेकिन विन्डालू, सोरपातेल आदि जैसे पक्षों के साथ युग्मित किया जा सकता है।

[@judithxavier9021]

Will the taste be same without using bouillon cubes

[@FlorencyDias]

Hi, Judith :) Thanks for the question. Well, originally, aroz is cooked in a chicken/meat/veg stock. That's what gives it the subtle taste (apart from the cloves). To reduce preparation time, Bouillon cubes act as a 'saving-grace' and contribute the same stock-flavor. So without them, it will taste different, yes, and you'll consequentially need more salt as well (bouillon cubes are themselves salty). You could try the stock method, if you need guidance on that, do get back on this comment, I'll be glad to help. I hope that answers your question :)

[@karendcosta578]

Hi Happy feast to you, do you have a recipe for para , dry mackerel pickle?

[@FlorencyDias]

Hey Karen! My video for makerel parra will be coming soon, next week in fact, the video is in the making :) Thank you for this suggestion 💫

[@venitagomes8977]

Thank you for sharing ur Recipe of Goan Pulao.. It was authentic.. Exact Measure.. BUT... Mam for Goan Aaron Pulao... GOAN SAUSAGES are added

[@FlorencyDias]

Hi, Venita, thanks for such kind appreciation! Goan sausages are optional, and when added the dish is called ‘choriss pulao’/sausage pilaf. Similarly, one can add prawns and call it prawns pulao. One core dish- Aroz- but many variations!✨

[@clancyfernandes3528]

Explained very well... God bless you😊 hoping to see many more recipes on your channel...thankyou 🙂

[@FlorencyDias]

Thank you, Clancy; with such kindness from you (and viewers like you), I'm greatly encouraged to keep going 🥰 God bless you!😊

[@mattypereira6129]

Mam We put green Cardamons as well for Aroz....n a dash of sugar we add when we fry Onions... Appearance was too good. 👍😋

[@FlorencyDias]

Thanks for your comment, Matty :) This is further proof of how traditions travel and change in different homes and yet remain as a unifying element✨

[@annagoulbourn5563]

How many cups of rice did you use? Is it 2 cups of water to one cup of rice? Thanks

[@shwetakadwadkar2683]

Mam I don't have bouillon cubes but I hve Maggie masala is it ok

[@madhavkopalle]

What is bouillon cubes

[@hazelpereira8130]

Can u show whch cup u used for measuring water

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Hazel! For the water, simply use the same cup you use to measure the rice (my cup measures 240 ml of water, I used the same for the rice). Hope this helped💫

[@elizabethf3647]

Hi. I would love to make this but do not have a Tava/Griddle. Can I make it without one please and if so how? Thank you so much, my children will love this rice 😀

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Elizabeth :) The purpose of the griddle is to allow for indirect heating thereby preventing the burning of the rice closest to the flame. Placing the cooking pot upon a pan of a slightly larger diameter can do the job or a heavy-bottom vessel, or if not available, keep the flame as low as possible, and cook for little over a minute. Hope you will all enjoy this🤗💫

[@elizabethf3647]

@@FlorencyDias That sounds perfect, thank you so so much! You have lots of lovely recipes that I can’t wait to make. I am Goan and can’t wait for my children to try your recipes. Thank you

[@mariadias3231]

[@leenavarghese9571]

My humble question is ... why add so many bullion cubes?? Is it healthy?? Can't v enhance the taste any other way ... like adding fresh meat/veg stock ... etc!!

[@FlorencyDias]

You can add stock, my dear :) Bouillon cubes are alternatives for meat/veg broth, and my video shows what I opt for. Use whatever suits you best- that's the best part about cooking your own food✨ However, if you do eat aroz on a regular basis, I do recommend boiling up some good broth, it surely is healthier. Thanks, Leena! Hope that answered your questions💫

[@priciladudia8561]

Sorry mam did nt get wht cubes r u telling about plz make it easy by explaining

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Pricila! Bouillon cubes are packed blocks of stock/broth powder (if in India, the popular brand is Maggi and they are available as veg and chicken stock cubes of various weights- I used the 4 grams packets) Hope this helped 💫

[@dr.carmocosta-viegas6733]

What you have described is the standard Indian pulao except for the cloves ,ect.In aros the main ingredient is vos ,pork tallow.No need of artificial stock cubes.And our fat red rice ( !!! ) may be used too.
