Anina’s Kenyan Pilau, A fantastic, aromatic rice dish that is wonderfully frugal and traditional to Kenya This recipe is a beautiful example of the fusion between African and Indian cuisines local to the area Serve this with Kachumbari on the side!, This was easy to make and has a fun spice palette, but is a bit too dry It’s possible the dryness is from our using jasmine rice instead of basmati rice, though Next time, we’ll add twice the liquid and twice the raisins We made the kachumbari (recipe #277519) that was recommended with this dish, and that mixed in the pilau really adds a lot of flavor; we don’t recommend making this dish without the kachumbari , This was easy to make and has a fun spice palette, but is a bit too dry It’s possible the dryness is from our using jasmine rice instead of basmati rice, though Next time, we’ll add twice the liquid and twice the raisins We made the kachumbari (recipe #277519) that was recommended with this dish, and that mixed in the pilau really adds a lot of flavor; we don’t recommend making this dish without the kachumbari
