Pilaf

I could not have a bacon, buddy.

What is the rice that Indian use? Pilau.

Pilau, no, begins with a bri.

Tricolour.

Is it bri...

I thought, why not try to make something small and then, yeah, introduce it to people.

How do people in Mariba react to being served your Uzbek pilaf, your Osh?

People love it.

It's very famous.

I think because of the mildness of the flavor as well, it's not spicy or it's not overpowering.

You know, it's just pleasing to eat Osh.

What's your memory of Osh? Who do you remember cooking it? When do you remember first eating it? What do you remember about that time?

Whenever I think of Osh, it brings back memories of Eid, the Muslim celebration after Ramadan.

What is that one?

Rice Pilaf, too.

Yeah, it's really good.

Have you

Spectacular food.

Plov.

Uh, although I'm vegetarian, I had vegetarian plov, but you're gonna have the meat plov.

It's gonna be great.

Palau, she suggested.

Paratha.

Perched above them at the entrance portico sat a plaster bust of a portly gentleman in a cravat, perhaps inspired by a drawing made by the bungalow's original owner, who had toured Europe, sketchbook in hand, in the same manner he'd observed foreigners doing in India.
