Palaw

Palaw, often known as ash, is a staple and a traditional meal in Turkmenistan and adjacent countries. It's a must-have dish for family dinners, as well as a must-have feast for special occasions.

Palaw's major ingredients are lamb meat and rice. It's cooked with fried beef, julienned carrots, sliced onions, and rice that's been boiled. Rice is boiled, then steamed till done after absorbing the water. If desired, dried fruit and garlic can be added when it's almost done. The finest way to enjoy this regional specialty is with a chopped green summer salad.
