If you want pilau rice* you need to fry some onions til translucent, then add spices (cardamom pods, cloves, a cinnamon stick, bay leaves and some saffron), fry them for a few seconds, then fry 1 part rice in that mixture. You then add 2 parts boiling water (not cold), bring to the boil, and simmer as usual. It might help if you seal your pan with kitchen foil before you leave the rice to simmer - it'll keep the moisture in.

My pulao recipe is similar to this, except we don't use bay or saffron. We use cumin and tumeric. The cinnamon we use is some thick bark stuff. It's not like the really fine aromatic stuff used in desserts, it looks more like the outer bark of a tree. And instead of plain water we use chicken stock.

Pulao and chicken curry - it's like the indian version of chicken soup when you're ill.

How exactly am I 'pwned'? Where in that post did I claim that pilau rice is Jamaican?

[mr steev]

basmati is a type of long-grain rice

You're right

But usually in the UK, long grain rice refers to standard rice mostly imported from the US and China (along with it's GM fears) where as Basmati is specifically the aromatic variety mostly grown in India
