1 block smoked tofu, sliced as thin as possible (almost translucent) 4 small onions, thinly sliced 300g carrots, sliced 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp ketchup 2 tsp whole cumin 3/4 tsp cardamom 1/4 tsp cloves 2 tsp paprika 2 bay leaves 3.5 cups rice 1 whole head of garlic, cut in half horizontally 1l stock
Optional:
1 can of beans (e.g., kidney beans or chickpeas), drained and rinsed Fresh parsley
Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the smoked tofu slices until crispy and golden. They may break into smaller pieces, which is fine. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pan, add the sliced onions and carrots. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and the carrots are almost caramelized (soft and slightly browned).
3. Add the tomato paste and ketchup to the pan. Stir well to combine. Add the cumin, cardamom, cloves, paprika, bay leaves, and salt. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the spice mixture. Add the crispy tofu slices back into the pan and mix gently.
5. Place both garlic head pieces on top of the rice. Push it down slightly so it’s nestled into the rice. Pour in the stock, ensuring the rice is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Once the pilau is cooked, remove the garlic halves. Squeeze out the softened garlic cloves, chop them finely, and stir them back into the pilau.
7. If using beans, add them now and stir to combine.

Erh. Parboiled rice is for poor people in India. 💀

@MsEyelinered
Brown rice is not healthy. That’s a myth. Any fiber benefit you might get from eating brown rice, you could get from eating a vegetable WITH white rice (as is customary). There’s a reason no traditional cultures use brown rice — it’s a made up white people food with nebulous benefit.

There is also " plav" and "plaf" just saying 🤣

Parboiled is good for congees
@oishisaha2714
Don’t buy parboiled rice?
@elisa6212
Any kind of parboiled rice looks like plastic, smells like plastic, tastes like plastic and once it's cooked it has the same consistency of rubber. Yuck. No, it has no redemption 😅
@nailbtop
Oh no I would try making a fermented rice dish with it, it may taste better. Like dosa or appams

I didn't think a food roast would pop up in my feed but now I want more videos like this
@tako2212
Brown rice is by no means healthier. It contains way more arsenic and lectins.
@jillylills3237
Hate parboiled rice and quite frankly, anything
@afterlife_immortals
Yesssss. I'm not into bashing any cultures food, there's some things I'll absolutely not eat, especially intelligent creatures, BUT I cannot get past the taste of Parboiled rice, I really don't like it, and it's said to be the most nutritious rice… Oh well 😅
@Uruk02
This is not how you cook basmati rice you cooked that rice like asian people rice ..
@raplords00
Hahaha it's actually used for foods like biryani. It's prepared like that so that it does not loose it's form and get mushy when cooked in biryani. It's very very common in my home, Southern Africa.
Back home a lot of us bake our biryani, so we need a rice that really holds up in the oven for a while. Some ppl will use brown basmati.
But parboiled is great for its intended purpose 🤗
The flavour is lighter, but it's meant to be eaten with a bunch of spices – i.e. biryani.
@Kumari891
Is that white briyani?
@zieily
it's common in india, I hate its taste and texture
@NoName-nq8vc
You are so wonderfully talented, but I’m afraid you’re in too narrow a genre with your cooking videos. Branch out! You’re a cutie do travel, beauty stuff too. You’re quite intelligent so why not do some philosophy too, some vlogging. Huge fan
