Pilaf in the dough

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Preparing the ingredients. For this dish, we will take chicken, namely breast, because it cooks faster, but you can use beef or any other meat at will. Garlic can be taken as in the classic recipe by the cloves themselves. But the taste turns out richer and more piquant if you add chopped green garlic arrows. Rice is washed to clear water, then filled with water and left for half an hour so that the rice absorbs water and swells a little.

2. Step 2:

   

   We will wash the meat, cut it into small cubes. Peel the onion and carrot, finely chop the onion, grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Wash the raisins in running water, pour boiling water and leave for a few minutes so that it steams and becomes soft. You can not add raisins, but it gives a pleasant sweetness to the dish, but it is better to take small raisins so as not to spoil the dish with excess sugar.

3. Step 3:

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry onions and carrots on it until transparent, then add finely chopped garlic arrows, fry everything, stirring with a wooden spatula. Then add the meat and fry until the meat turns white.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then drain the water, put the raisins, rice in a frying pan with vegetable frying, mix, pour water so that it covers the contents one centimeter high. Reduce the fire to medium. If necessary (if it evaporates quickly), water can be added during cooking.

5. Step 5:

   

   Meanwhile, we are preparing the dough. We drive an egg into a bowl, pour kefir, vegetable oil, add salt and soda.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix until smooth and pour in the sifted flour. Knead the elastic dough, it should not stick to your hands. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave it on the table for 20 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Grease the mold with vegetable oil. You can take any refractory mold. Roll out the dough into a thin layer, roll it out without flour, if it sticks to the table or rolling pin, the surface can be lubricated with vegetable oil.

9. Step 8:

   

   If desired, you can put nuts or sunflower seeds on the bottom of the mold, it will turn out even more beautiful and tastier. We put the dough into a mold.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spread the finished pilaf on top, cover it with dough, wrapping the end of the dough inside.

11. Step 10:

    

    Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. If the dough will quickly turn brown on top, then the form should be covered with foil and let the dough bake from below. We take out the dish, let it cool down, take it out of the mold, cut it into portions and serve it to the table. This pilaf made of natural yogurt sauce with garlic and salt is very tasty. Bon appetit!
