How to make a homemade pilaf on a stove in a chicken Kazan? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. In addition to chicken fillet, you can take any other parts of boneless chicken, such as meat from the hips or lower legs. Pilaf can be cooked without turmeric and barberry, but we cook with these ingredients - neither give the dish a rich yellow color, aroma and a light sourness.
Pour rice into the cauldron, add all the spices, bay leaves, barberry and whole unpeeled garlic cloves. If the cloves are small, then you can increase their number by 2 times or generally add a whole washed head of garlic in the husk to the pilaf. As they say, you can't spoil pilaf with garlic, it will only be more aromatic.
Bring the water to a boil. Cover the cauldron with a lid and simmer the pilaf for about 30 minutes or a little longer until the rice is cooked. Do not mix pilaf at this time. Try rice for readiness. It should be soft, but not boiled. Remove the finished pilaf from the heat and let it brew under the lid for about 25 minutes so that the rice absorbs excess moisture.
