Rice has become the staple for people aboard region especially, in Asian country as well as Middle East. Bademli Pilav or Almond pilaf is a well known Turkish rice recipe. Cooked with long grain rice, flavoured with the rich taste of butter and nutty taste of toasted almond is vegetarian rice dish which you can found in most Turkish households.
This is a simple and easy pilaf recepi and can be served with chicken and meat as a side dish or if you are a vegetarian, the rice goes well with spicy paneer or aubergine gravy. I added 2 buds of cloves and 1 bayleaf for the extra kick even when the original recepi didn't call for it. Anyway, a little creativity no harm right??
