0 Hi gals, 02br
00Pilaf is the same as pilau: 02br
02br
00 Pilau or pilau rice is rice flavoured with spices, often mixed with pieces of meat or fish. 02br
02br
00Since we use the same word, pilau, in Persian to refer to the same dishes, I think I could explain it more in details, I hope! 02br
00Suppose you are making a rice and

0 It helps, a lot, thank you Nima, and pieanne. Is pilaf always made with wild rice, or not necessarily? 0-

0 No, but don't use the kind of basmati rice, because it's perfumed. 0-

0 What do you mean 'perfumed'? You are pulling my leg aren't you? I had basmati rice in my recipes and I'm suprised that I haven't come across that info before? 0-

0 No, I'm not. 02br
00Basmati, thai rice and others whose names I can't remember are perfumed, so it's better not to cook them together with spicy food. 02br
00I always cook them in boiling water - of course 05000 - then either mix them with say chicken in Chinese sauce at the last minute, or serve them apart, as a side dish, instead of potatoes or pasta...010

00I'm going to disagree here: basmati rice is often used for pilau in Indian cookery, and is Ok for pilau. Other long grain rices could be used such as patna, but never arborito or, as you say, fragrant thai rice. 050010id1
