Although it is not healthy pilav should be cooked with BUTTER. Secondly you should use vermicelli pasta or ozzo pasta as noodle. After you turn off the heat cover the pot with a paper napkin and put the lid on and let stay at least 20 min. You can also use chicken or beef stock instead of bouillon cube, just do not forget the liquid should 1,5 to 1 rice in total. I hope you enjoy it.

The turkishness in that recipe lies in the fact that it was made and tried and tasted in turkey dude.and like she says it's one of many..it may "seem" to you an ordinary rice dish that's why you have to taste it to understand the difference. u guys think we turks use olive oil with everything? how many times have you been to turkey? we use sunflower or corn oil more than any other kinds. i never saw anyone make rice with olive oil in turkey. olive oil makes up a part of our cuisine but dont think that we use it with everything all the time.

My DH loved at as did our sons. I don't know what "dvoulio" is talking about it tastes almost the same as the one we get from our local Turish resturant.

I'm sorry I'm going to be a bit fussy here. First of all where's the turkishness ?? This seems to me just an ordinary rice dish. Second.. when we say "oil" there is a humongous difference between oils. Is is it peanut oil ? is it canola oil is it OLIVE oil ( now we're getting a bit of turkishness ! ) I mean COME ON people.. it's these details that make or completely break a recipe..
