The national dish of Uzbekistan is the plov (or pilaf), a rice dish probably originating from antique Persia. Many variations of this dish can be be found across Central Asia from Middle-East to India.
The Uzbek version usually contains carrots, chickpeas and mutton. The rice can be cooked either with mutton fat or with cotton oil (to lighten the dish?!).
