Pilaf that always turns out crumbly: how to cook the dish properly
Pilaf is a hearty rice dish that can be prepared in different ways: with meat, without meat, with spices, onions, and garlic. Perfectly cooked pilaf is crumbly, does not stick together, and is very flavorful. The type of cereal and the proportions of water are of great importance.
