  • Pilau is a rice dish that's very flavorful and delicious , the spices that are used together with ginger ,garlic and deeply caramelized red onions makes the pilau dish just so tasty. Rice pilau is very popular in Kenya, the East African region and has its its roots from the Indian cuisine.
    Pilau is a comfort dish easy to make and very popular during festive seasons and weddings, its a crowd pleaser but works very well for weeknight dinners too.

    Sasa Wainaina, I saw this video last night and I made it today. You’ve made me a heroine in my household with this channel. My husband gets compliments at work for all the delicious meals he takes to work.
    This was by far the best pilau. Thank you for the simple ingredients and for simplifying these recipes so much that my 10 year old can make them.
    Keep going strong, we are here to support and cheer you on.

    (Larry's wife) My late mother, from low country South Carolina, taught me to make rice pulau as a teen. However. the recipe was basic with just onions and bell pepper. Cooking with spices was lost through the years of bondage. Even though my great grandfather became a rice farmer after Emancipation, there was no access to using these ingredients except for making fruit cake and sweet potato pies. I am so happy that there is now a way to enhance meals. Our diet still consists of the same foods, but without the spices. But I am slowing adapting how I season. thanks so much for the seasoning lessons and different ways to prepare meals. No more bland!

    I tried this and it was absolutely yum. It was my first time making it and i didnt have all the spices . I had to pre boil my meat because our beef tends to be a bit tough and i didn't want to risk it. I liked it so much i went out and bought all the spices to make the masala...thank you.
