Pilau rice is the perfect accompaniment to almost any curry and there are so many versions of it that I find myself always experimenting with recipes. The word pilau simply means rice cooked in a seasoned or spiced broth and thus the variations of what to add to a pilau are immense. My mix veg pilau recipe is tasty and quick and easy to prepare.
