Yup, first time I had it was at Fanatic Kitchen Studio a year ago, never thought to do that before. Batter it like you would chicken and deep fry, season the dredge to taste. I use either white or baby bella mushrooms

Pelau today
nothing to really take pics of - it gonna taste better tomorrow anyway.
Leftover pelau always tastes better, plus the zaboca should be ripe by tomorrow

However seeing a raging debate going on - which way you prefer your pelau?
Sappy, medium or dry?

Sappy is the only way.

carluva · Postby **carluva** » June 29th, 2020, 4:44 pm

My wife makes a good sappy pelau.

My mom makes a buss dry pelau.

My mother in law makes a good dry pelau.

Generally I like sappy. And hell yeah to that zaboca. With kuchela. Or with a piece of raw hot pepper.

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » June 29th, 2020, 4:51 pm

medium for me yes
not too wet it's not soup
and not too dry cause that's just fry rice and chicken

Medium. Accompanied by either a slaw and zaboca or something crunchy and bitter like watercress and carille

SMc · Postby **SMc** » June 30th, 2020, 2:34 am

^^ Same for me- medium, slaw and kutchela , but for the life of me I cant get it to come out medium only sappy

You starting with too much water.

Start with the bare minumim liquid and add more while cooking
A good average is 2:1 liquid to rice ratio for plain rice.

peleau needs low heat to simmer, and it needs to remain covered so the rice can steam.

Dizzy28 · Postby **Dizzy28** » June 30th, 2020, 10:11 am

Thoughts on the other beans ppl like to add like corn and green peas in addition to pigeon peas?
Should it be pigeon peas only?

Tried that, i usually do 1:1.5 rice:water ratio- maybe too much oil in the browning part making the rice get hard/sealed so it absorbs less water so not as fluffy. Ill try that and see what happens

brr, solid ratio there
perhaps you overcooking it? or change the timing of your ingredients. mushy vegetables contribute to the sappiness level
