- 500 g Long-grain rice (like Basmati or Devzira)(rinsed thoroughly)
- 150 ml Vegetable oil or cottonseed oil

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or kazan over medium-high heat. Fry the fish pieces until golden brown on all sides. Remove fish and set aside.
- 2
Add the sliced onions to the same pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned.
- 3
Add the julienned carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
- 4
Stir in the cumin seeds and crushed coriander seeds. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Return the fried fish pieces to the pot, arranging them over the vegetables. Add the whole head of garlic, cut-side up, in the center. If using, scatter barberries over the top.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Ensure fish is not overcrowding the vegetables. - 6
Pour in the water or fish broth, ensuring it just covers the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer.

Carefully spread the rinsed rice evenly over the fish and vegetables. Do not stir. Add more hot water or broth if needed to cover the rice by about 1 cm (about 1/2 inch).
💡 Professionelle Tips: The rice should be in a single layer. - 8
Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated and small craters appear on the rice surface.

Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover the pot tightly with a lid (you can place a clean kitchen towel under the lid to absorb steam) and steam for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Avoid lifting the lid during steaming. - 10
Once cooked, let the plov rest off the heat, covered, for 10 minutes before gently fluffing and serving.
💡 Professionelle Tips
- ✓Using a traditional kazan or a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven is recommended for even heat distribution.
- ✓Rinsing the rice is crucial to remove excess starch and prevent the plov from becoming mushy.
- ✓Adjust the amount of water based on the type of rice used; some absorb more liquid than others.
- ✓Fresh dill or parsley can be used as a garnish.
