I found that ''pilaf'' is an indian dish with rice, vegetables, meat or fish and spices. But is this perhaps a brand name of rice? Or type of rice?
Thanks

No, "wild rice" is a special kind od rice:

the grains are longer, thinner, and darker than your usual rice.

Hi gals,
Pilaf is the same as pilau:
Pilau or pilau rice is rice flavoured with spices, often mixed with pieces of meat or fish.
Since we use the same word, pilau, in Persian to refer to the same dishes, I think I could explain it more in details, I hope!
Suppose you are making a rice and meat dish. If you cook the meat, and then add the rice to the meat to be cooked by the meat stock, it would be a pilaf or pilau. If you cook them seperately, you won't have a pilaf. Paella is a good example of a western pilaf (it's a Spanish dish, rice with spices and shrimps and peas,... )
I hope that it helps,

The similarities among the languages are more than their differences!

It helps, a lot, thank you Nima, and pieanne. Is pilaf always made with wild rice, or not necessarily?

No, but don't use the kind of basmati rice, because it's perfumed.

What do you mean 'perfumed'? You are pulling my leg aren't you? I had basmati rice in my recipes and I'm suprised that I haven't come across that info before?
