🍛 What is Pilau Rice
Pilau rice is probably your rice of choice when visiting your favourite curry house. It’s bold yellow colour (which comes naturally from turmeric, rather than artificial colouring) and rich flavour make it a much more interesting companion to your curry than plain boiled rice. It is thought to originate from Iran or elsewhere in the Middle East, and now you are able to make it yourself at home by following our recipe!
