The basic kit makes 4–6 servings of home plov: 600 g of rice, about 8 g of zira, 10 g of barberries and roughly one and a half teaspoons of coriander seed. The large kit makes 8–10 servings (about 1 kg of rice). At the counter you can add meat or vegetables and seasonal extras such as dried apricots or raisins.
The recipe card is written so that plov works even for a first-timer: heat the oil, brown the meat and onions, add the carrots and spices, pour in the water, spread the rice in an even layer, cook covered for 25–30 minutes, then leave it to rest for 10 minutes. The weights and timings are on the back.
The kit also makes a good present: people buy it when visiting friends, as a housewarming gift, or for families cooking Uzbek food for the first time. We will make up the kit at the counter while you wait and suggest which dried fruit or nuts to add.
