God bless you for sharing your Culinary skills. The meanies dont Like to share. You are a chef of High calibre. Well done Chef. Waiting to try your pilau. Niloo
Very nice brother. I’m a professional chef of 37 years and have enjoyed cooking various cuisines. I like the way that you are always cleaning as you go. This is what I learned from my college tutors. Start the job, finish the job, clean up from the job. Well done👍🏽
Hi Paul, You have given him many good compliments, but do you think he really used a good kitchen grievance to make Rice Polo? in the first instance he used his long spoons in a pan with a teflon layer and that is very dangerous, secondly he used the pan of onions which has been banned for years. If you are a top chef then you should have seen long ago that the method he uses is not the one desired by a top chef. Or is a top chef only a top chef in England? Sorry to say, but French President Mitterand once said that the English are not good cooks. and Maybe you're going to say we have a top chef like Olliver. hahahah. Many greetings from the south of Provence France. 🥱🙏🏼🫣 😕
I’ve been bumbling along with my version of pilau rice for years and then I watched this - I’ve just cooked it and it is perfect. Thank you so much, I learned more in 5 minutes than I have in 5 years 👍👍
The pillao rice looks great.👍 But please don't keep the handle towards your body but turn it on the side while cooking. By mistake your hand may touch the handle and it will overturn. I got burnt accidently. So take care. Also don't serve hot food in plastic containers. Good luck to you. Thanks for sharing your favourite recipes. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏
I've been cooking for 20 years (and more) and my Achilles heel has always been basmati rice. Sure, I can cook it and it's perfectly edible but actually cooking it this fluffy where every grain is separate just never seemed to work out. Your method of frying it for much longer than I usually do helped massively. I made the best Pilau I have ever made as a result of this recipe and am so glad you unlocked the door for me on that. Thank you Latif.
I did this method on accident recently (fry longer, cook with lid off longer), and it totallllllly worked for basmati rice! Normally when I make it in huge quantities, it’s hard to get it cooked evenly. But this did the trick 👌

Thank you for sharing your talent with us - I lost my mother at an early age and you are the replacement that I waited for after so many many years - your advise is truly professional and so easy to follow.
It always amazes me how Indian food makes the absolute most of the most humble ingredients. This is basically rice, onions and peas and I'm sure it tastes 10 times that.
@@ustand2186 Absolutely, I'm not a bad cook myself! I find making Indian that 9 times out of 10 I just make veggie as there is SO MUCH flavor in the combo spices. I love meat too. All about the feel though, I find accurate recipes kinda take the creative out of it.
At home we make it all in one pot, and it tastes super. I think the idea is to brown the onions, not glaze and deglaze them with browing agents like red wine, or soy sauce etc. but just wait till onions cook up to that colour itself. It makes a world of difference to the taste.
@Free Speech you are right..Indian food is no good. It has too much of spices in it to give that great favur that one needs to enjoy in good food. By the way Have you tried chinese phoo dumplings. There are different flavors of phoo used I am told.. For example human ( British, Chinese , Europa, etc.) pig what not. You should try them ..you will definitely like it.
I think he is a great teacher! I do agree with other comments, he knows his stuff and speak very clear and easy to follow. He is also very humble to share his talents and to other people who are interested. Of course you can not pleased everyone. Well done Latif
I made this rice dish last night. I halved the quantities because it was just for me and my wife. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. My wife said it was the best rice she has eaten in her life! It was really really good. We ate it with squid curry, cachumber and poppadoms. Fantastic! Thank you for a truly great recipe.
You have so many awesome looking recipes that I want to try!! Thank you for sharing your talent for cooking and your recipes! Please keep sharing your videos! 😊🥰👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️
I’ve just made one of the best rice dishes I’ve ever tasted using this recipe ❤ I ate my portion and have to confess I went for seconds, thirds, fourths…. And that’s not like me! Thank you Latif for your recipe and for sharing your passion with us!
Love the way you cook...absolute delight to watch..I'm mix..creole and Indian and have cooked almost same way but your ingredients are what makes it unique ..keep it going from Cape Town South Africa
Thanks, Mom & Dad! I was born in Birmingham, UK to parents that loved "exotic" foods... And trying new recipes. Trips to what's now known as the Curry Triangle were fairly common, this was the early to mid 1980s just before the areas' fame rocketed, nationally and then internationally. The restaurants were very sparsely decorated, plastic gingham table cloths on pasting tables, the chairs were chained to the floor! No cutlery, the food was served from iron bowls and eaten traditional style; with naan bread (some a whopping 4-foot long). No alcohol, just jugs of water on each table with disposable cups. It was heaven... Thanks India, thanks Pakistan, Bangladesh, from wherever these guys came from, they taught us so much. Even British shops started stocking Asian food stuffs, most young folk won't remember the days before "Super" Markets, before then we only had seasonal British food and some European stuff that no one knew how to cook. Curry changed everything, curry changed Britain for the better. Keep on cooking and teaching, you're doing a wonderful job. Good luck.
Looks tasty, although few misconceptions ghee is in fact better for our bodies than once perceived. I'd certainly substitute it for the veg/sunflower oil but use moderately as ghee is packed full of flavour so little goes long way. Also the basmati rice doesnt require toasting for so long it breaks the kernels even though drained, rice takes on flavour when it's on dum/left on steam. To bring out aroma of spice you may pre fry all the spices and then add the rice, itl keep the basmati grains nice and long.
Thank you Latifs for the Pilau Rice video - I was looking out for a special recipe, which you have so kindly shared with us. I think we are the ones who should feel blessed with all your cooking knowledge you are so very kindly sharing with us.
Thank you Latif! This has transformed my rice cooking! I cheated and finished it in the rice cooker after frying but it came out perfect, separate grains, no sticking and a great aromatic flavour
Latif, Tried this recipe and this is the best rice I've ever made! I love pilau rice and this is excellent, so authentic. I've also made the base stock sauce which again turned out very good! Added to some Tandoori chicken cooked on the bbq which was the best meal I've had this year! I'll be trying the Korma next (to get my children eating it). Having Punjabi in-laws I do eat a lot of traditional home cooking which is great and very tasty but the classic Indian restaurant food is just that bit more elaborate and special! Top quality videos. Keep up the great work!
I have learnt so much from this channel! It's really made me enjoy learning how to cook this type of cuisine. It's lovely that he's spending time to teach us. Thank you!
When I make pilau rice I put in cardamom, cloves, star anise, half a cinnamon quill, bay leaves, saffron, or a pinch of turmeric if you can't afford saffron but saffron is best.
Awwww mate!!!...this is the BEST rice ever, I’ve never managed to make decent rice. You’re a true legend, thank you sooooo much. The peas add a little sweetness and that saffron just tops it off....well done brother!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Btw ghee is healthier than refined vegetable oil. I’ve made this recipe at least five times. It’s my favorite. The only thing I don’t use are the green peas. And I use olive oil. It freezes beautifully btw.
I love your style of cooking! Also cleaning as you are preparing the food . I am not a professional like you, however I also clean up constantly, as I am cooking the meal. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe, which I will be making soon, for my family.♥️
You get what you pay for, Indian restaurants actually do a lot more actual cooking work than your average high St chain restaurants, yet charge less. Chicken and fries served on a wooden board in Wildwood restaurants took barely any work, yet people are willing to pay more for that than an actual dish someone has stood over and cooked in am Indian restaurant. Indian cooking is intensive, but people don't want to pay for it, rice is like 2 or 3 pounds in an Indian takeaway, you can't expect more than a very basic pilau for that price
Paul Reedy, Yes SKK is German, I have a selection of their pans, they do also honour their lifetime guarantee which I used when I burnt a pan and they refurbished it for free!
@@Meeeeeeeennnnn SB, thanks so much for this info. I have and use SKK stainless steel tableware from the 1960s; their video says the factory was started in 1985. That must be when they expanded their earlier line of production. I also wonder what SKK stands for in German. Thanks again.
What a wonderful young man- an inspirational cook. You feel his passion. Food looks gorgeous. I bet he's a great friend to have too.a real British gentleman.
Lovely Pilau! Defo gonna make this one. Ghee is better for the body than vegetable oils. This video is already a few years old. A lot of recent medical studies came out on plant oils. The chemical proces to make these kind of oils are causing inflammation in the body. Ghee and lard are best to use and most recognisable for the body. Also the taste is way better 😝
I lurve pilau rice, couple of variations i tasted when in the north east were star anise, cinnamon~ just a dash. Bless you, keep up the brilliant work. Much love from Australia
Well that has to be the best, went down a storm in our house, I didn't have any saffron so added half tsp turmeric but will have saffron for next time, Well Done great teacher.
Just a suggestion, Latif. Maybe text on the screen confirming things like cooking times, pan temperature, oven temperature, etc. might be an idea. Also, maybe writing the recipe in the description might help, too? Great channel. Thank you! My Dad had his own restaurant but got sick before he could teach me. So watching you, and bettering my cooking skills is very helpful :)
I tried this tonight and ended up with stodgy rice as usual. I used 1 level cup of rice and 2 level cups of water. The flavour was there but I think I used a little too much oil. Thank you Latif for sharing your hard work, we are four curries in and they have all been superb. We will be coming over for a meal as soon as this lockdown over.
If you have a microwave, put one cup of basmati rice in bowl add salt to taste, boil kettle, pour over rice so it is 1 centimetre above, stir and place cling film over, blitz for 6 mins take out fluff up rice with a fork, put cling film back. This method has never failed me! No washing of rice! I know it seems strange no washing rice. Fry of your spices for a few minutes in good size saucepan to bring out their flavour, I like gee or a mix of gee and oil, tip in rice and thoroughly mix in. I do hope this works for you! I do not advise to freeze rice. Best wishes
Made this pilau rice today mate and it was absolutely brilliant 👍🏻 won’t make it any other way now. The onions definitely set it off too .. went great with your Chicken Tikka Masala. Keep up the great work.
Omg just made this at home and added turmeric instead of saffron omg the best rice of ever tasted this guy really knows his stuff and really appreciate that he lets us into his secrets, many Indian restaurants will NEVER give this kind of info out so fair 1 to latif and u deserve every subscriber.
I'm so pleased to re post your videos at this time of need when people are struggling to buy their usual foods and need to become more creative and broaden their culinary choices. Your videos are so simple for people to follow especially new cooks or inexperienced cooks . I'm advising folk to plant some seeds now instead of waiting it out in the hope that foods will be available in 3 months I mean who will be out there planting all the seeds now for food to buy in shops in June or July? Radishes.salad greens.herbs .tomato plants.spring onions. Lettuce. Corriander.cucumber.you don't need too much space ,grow vertically .use food grade oil drums the asian and Chinese shops throw out .garlic if only for the green shoots for flavour .
I tell my patients to soak all rice over night to remove as much lectin (the plant poison that creates inflammation in the body) before cooking, after washing thoroughly to remove talc.
Thanks for taking the time to make actual measurements (chef spoon etc.) I’ll have to do likewise with my cooking spoon. I’m recalling ages ago I had a stainless steel cooking spoon with measurements on it.
Hi Latif, I think most recent thinking would say ghee is healthier than vegetable oil. The problem with vegetable oil is that they spoil (oxidise) quickly and thus are harmful when consumed, not to mention lower smoking points. As ever, look to what our ancestors used in such instances. Solid at room temp is a good general rule (coconut, butter, lard), as well as clarified butter which can be cooked to a high temp. Not to mention, as you know yourself, they taste better.
Amen Barry.!!! Vegetable oils are cheap and very unhealthy. They promote inflammation, oxidisation and causes arterial disease! We all need to move away from the BS that the government has been feeding us this last 30-40 years, it has made our population very sick. We do indeed need to return to the methods of our ancestors, they were far healthier!
Yes, it is much healthier to cook with natural butter / ghee than any oil. The only oil that isn’t bad is real virgin olive oil. Other than that, stay away from oil as much as possible!
Latiff I have been following your cooking and making the dishes from Tanzania in East Africa I love foods from Asia and you’ve added a new meaning to my Love of these dishes! Thank you for Sharing!
I believe veg oil is not healthy like we used to think. Oils go ransid when heated. Actually ghee or butter is best with avocado oil which can take heat. Hope this helps!
Oils go rancid when re-heated/used several times. Butter burns quicker than ghee as butter still has milk solids in it. Use veg oil for the frying, add butter at the end for flavour but without burning.. much cheaper than using ghee for whole process. :-)
I like your cooking and I am using all your ingredients and the way you cook.Its nice to know other county how they cook their food. Thank you so much for showing step by step how to cook Indian food and to prepare all
It's obvious you love the art of cooking it shows in the small details which make dishes special & authentic. Love Indian food will be waiting for more recipes👍😁 Was looking for chapati with chickpeas? (that's what I was told they were) I had at a friend's wedding can't find anything like that. Can you make those? 🙏

Martin Eleven ..that is how you make pilo rice my friend. Those are the main ingredients.
I was wondering about that. But the whole spices I am accustomed to seeing in biryani, not pillau.
We always use aromatic whole spices in basic pilau along with garlic ginger. Lots of bengali/sylheti cooks on YT for home cooking.

My Dad had his own restaurant but got sick before he could teach me. So watching you, and bettering my cooking skills is very helpful :)
He needs just for himself always forgetful when it comes to ingredients
Mahmood Ullah stop hating

Keep going, you are appreciated, and you have an open and warm personality.I have to do this myself.
My arteries and my taste buds had a meeting and, having beaten my arteries into submission, the taste buds are victorious by two falls and a knockout.
Obsidian Dwarf, way to go!!!
nice funny comment , smart
HAAAaaaaaa!!!!!!! Good one!!!
Great little video. So calmly presented. Looking forward to trying it. Thank you.
Sick vid bro! Genuinely helpful and unfussy guide to making a dish I manage to screw up constantly. Just watched this and made pro rice!
I tried this tonight and ended up with stodgy rice as usual. I used 1 level cup of rice and 2 level cups of water. The flavour was there but I think I used a little too much oil.
Thank you Latif for sharing your hard work, we are four curries in and they have all been superb. We will be coming over for a meal as soon as this lockdown over.
If you have a microwave, put one cup of basmati rice in bowl add salt to taste, boil kettle, pour over rice so it is 1 centimetre above, stir and place cling film over, blitz for 6 mins take out fluff up rice with a fork, put cling film back. This method has never failed me! No washing of rice! I know it seems strange no washing rice. Fry of your spices for a few minutes in good size saucepan to bring out their flavour, I like gee or a mix of gee and oil, tip in rice and thoroughly mix in. I do hope this works for you! I do not advise to freeze rice. Best wishes
Oh I forgot to say pierce the clingfilm small hole once.
Made this pilau rice today mate and it was absolutely brilliant 👍🏻 won’t make it any other way now. The onions definitely set it off too .. went great with your Chicken Tikka Masala. Keep up the great work.
Omg just made this at home and added turmeric instead of saffron omg the best rice of ever tasted this guy really knows his stuff and really appreciate that he lets us into his secrets, many Indian restaurants will NEVER give this kind of info out so fair 1 to latif and u deserve every subscriber.
Latif, you are a star! I just love you - thanks so much - the only thing I would say, could you write down some timings too?
Absolutely brilliant, I will support you through thank you 👍👍👍👍
Much appreciated
MasAllah
Love from Turkey 🇹🇷 and Denmark 🇩🇰

Thank u lovely recipe.love from South Africa ❤
Wow
I’m so going to try this. Thanks my dear. Any chance of showing us how chicken chaat puri is cooked? Pretty please
I'm so pleased to re post your videos at this time of need when people are struggling to buy their usual foods and need to become more creative and broaden their culinary choices.
Your videos are so simple for people to follow especially new cooks or inexperienced cooks .
I'm advising folk to plant some seeds now instead of waiting it out in the hope that foods will be available in 3 months I mean who will be out there planting all the seeds now for food to buy in shops in June or July?
Radishes.salad greens.herbs .tomato plants.spring onions. Lettuce. Corriander.cucumber.you don't need too much space ,grow vertically .use food grade oil drums the asian and Chinese shops throw out .garlic if only for the green shoots for flavour .
Top guy clear instructions knows his stuff A+++
Latif I love this recipe! Its a staple in our house. Keep on doing such a great job sharing your love of cooking!
I tell my patients to soak all rice over night to remove as much lectin (the plant poison that creates inflammation in the body) before cooking, after washing thoroughly to remove talc.
Good keep it up
If u soak the rice fortoong it won't cook right?
Thanks for taking the time to make actual measurements (chef spoon etc.) I’ll have to do likewise with my cooking spoon. I’m recalling ages ago I had a stainless steel cooking spoon with measurements on it.
Hi Latif, I think most recent thinking would say ghee is healthier than vegetable oil. The problem with vegetable oil is that they spoil (oxidise) quickly and thus are harmful when consumed, not to mention lower smoking points. As ever, look to what our ancestors used in such instances. Solid at room temp is a good general rule (coconut, butter, lard), as well as clarified butter which can be cooked to a high temp. Not to mention, as you know yourself, they taste better.
Amen Barry.!!!
Vegetable oils are cheap and very unhealthy. They promote inflammation, oxidisation and causes arterial disease!
We all need to move away from the BS that the government has been feeding us this last 30-40 years, it has made our population very sick. We do indeed need to return to the methods of our ancestors, they were far healthier!
Yes, it is much healthier to cook with natural butter / ghee than any oil. The only oil that isn’t bad is real virgin olive oil. Other than that, stay away from oil as much as possible!
Latiff I have been following your cooking and making the dishes from Tanzania in East Africa I love foods from Asia and you’ve added a new meaning to my Love of these dishes! Thank you for Sharing!
You sir are a legend! Thank you... I wish UA-cam had a way of smelling your food! 👍😎🍽👨🏽🍳
Rice looking amazing i will be trying your style tooo many thanks 👍
I believe veg oil is not healthy like we used to think. Oils go ransid when heated. Actually ghee or butter is best with avocado oil which can take heat. Hope this helps!
Oils go rancid when re-heated/used several times. Butter burns quicker than ghee as butter still has milk solids in it. Use veg oil for the frying, add butter at the end for flavour but without burning.. much cheaper than using ghee for whole process. :-)
Thanks for sharing very well explained and looks delicious must give this a try
