Plov (Pilaf)

Pilaf is a traditional Central Asian Uzbekistan dish, and its preparation can vary across different regions and cultures. However, the basic components usually include rice, meat (commonly lamb or beef), carrots, and a mix of spices. The ingredients are typically cooked together in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, allowing the flavors to meld.
