Add the cubed meat to the pot and brown it on all sides. This will take about 8-10 minutes.

đĄ Proffstips
- âRinsing the basmati rice thoroughly is crucial for a fluffy pilau.
- âAdjust the amount of spices to your preference. For a spicier pilau, add a pinch of chili powder.
- âEnsure the meat is tender before adding the rice. If it's not tender enough, simmer it longer in step 6.
