Authentic Tajik Plov Recipe

• Alexander the Great allegedly “brought” the pilaf recipe from Central Asia in the 4th century BCE — a popular folk legend (common in Uzbekistan, but historians view it as apocryphal, with no solid evidence). • Avicenna (Ibn Sina) invented “palov osh” as a medicine for the son of Bukhara’s ruler (an acronym from the ingredients: piyoz — onion, ayoz — carrot, lahm — meat, olio — oil/fat, vet — salt, ob — water, shaly — rice) — another beautiful Uzbek folk legend highlighting plov’s healing properties, though not historically confirmed (Avicenna did mention rice dishes in his 11th-century medical works).
