👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
In a heavy-bottomed pot or kazan, heat the oil or lamb fat over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kazy and fry until lightly browned and some fat has rendered. Remove kazy and set aside.
- 2
Add the sliced onions to the rendered fat and sauté until golden brown. Add the julienned carrots and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
- 3
Add the rinsed rice to the pot, distributing it evenly over the vegetables. Stir gently to coat the rice grains with the fat.
💡 Професійні поради: Do not stir vigorously after this point to avoid breaking the rice. - 4
Pour in the water or broth. It should cover the rice by about 1.5-2 cm. Add salt, cumin seeds, and crushed coriander seeds. Bring to a boil.
💡 Професійні поради: The liquid level is crucial for perfectly cooked rice. - 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Arrange the reserved kazy slices on top of the rice. Place the whole head of garlic in the center. Cover again and steam for another 15-20 minutes on very low heat.
💡 Професійні поради: This steaming step allows the flavors to meld and the kazy to release its aroma. - 7
If using barberries, sprinkle them over the pilaf just before serving. Let the pilaf rest, covered, for 10 minutes off the heat before fluffing gently with a fork and serving.
