  • Pulao (Risotto in Italian, and paella in Spanish )

I'm sure Pilao has Middle Eastern roots. Risotto is basically a really bad looking and meh tasting khichdi.

Pulao is a rice dish, cooked in seasoned broth. It is assumed that “Pulao” was first documented by the celebrated Persian scholar Abu Ali Ibn Sina in tenth century. It is evident that Pulao is a common rice dish of Muslims and travelled with them to civilization to civilization for centuries. Now pulao present itself as a cuisine of various countries like Iran, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Arabia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, India etc, by different names like Pilaf, Palao, Pulao, Pilau etc.

All About Pulao or Pilaf - Mariam Khalil

The English term pilaf is borrowed directly from the Turkish, pilav, which in turn comes from (Classical) Persian polow (پلو), and ultimately derives from Sanskrit pulāka- (पुलाक), “lump of boiled rice”.[SUP][2]](Pilaf - Wikipedia)[/SUP][SUP][3]](Pilaf - Wikipedia)[/SUP] The English term is further influenced by Modern Greek pilafi.[SUP][3]](Pilaf - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Due to the vast spread of the dish, there exist variations of the name in many languages, including plov, polou, palov, pilau, etc.
