Description
Turkish pilav (pilaf) is the foundational grain preparation of the Anatolian kitchen — derived from Persian pilaf tradition via the Silk Road, developed over centuries into a distinct Turkish style. The Turkish pilav technique differs from both the Indian (HAZ-style) and the Mughal biryani in several ways: the fat-first coating of rice before stock addition is the same; the ratio of fat is higher; and the resting technique (the "demli" — covered and rested with a cloth under the lid) is specific to Turkish pilav.
