The term 'Oriental Rice Dish' can refer to two different dishes: Pilau (5 letters) and PILAFF (6 letters). Pilau is a dish of rice cooked in stock, with spices, herbs, and sometimes meat or vegetables. It is popular in the Middle East, South Asia, and parts of Africa. PILAFF is a similar dish, but it is cooked in butter or oil, and usually includes nuts, dried fruits, and other ingredients. It is popular in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and parts of Eastern Europe. Both dishes are served as accompaniments to main courses, or as part of a larger meal.
