Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My roommate when I first moved out of Crown Heights was Bukharian. She would make this plav for Shabbos. I never got her recipe, but have asked around and this is a close approximation of her recipe. You can add bits of chicken, lamb, or beef (but hers was usually plain). You can also add in some shmaltz.
