About

Pilau is just what Indians do to their rice when they have visitors. There is no formula – each home will have their own combination of spices and their own take on the recipe. The addition of pine nuts is something I devised as I loved the way the pine nuts mimicked the rice grains but offered an entirely different bite.

It messed with my head a little.
