    Add the remaining dried fruits and spices, simmer under a closed lid for another 10 minutes. You can take your favorite spices, I really like cinnamon in combination with apples, traditionally I took barberry and saffron for pilaf.

    After 10 minutes, add the washed rice and carefully, so as not to wash off the rice layer, add apple juice. I cooked with juice as an experiment - it turned out very tasty! I've come across recipes with grape, peach, and orange juice! I think I'll try to take another one next time. You can also take regular water instead of juice, it will also be very tasty!

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Simmer on low heat for 20-40 minutes, depending on the rice. After 20 minutes, you need to check if there is enough liquid - if the liquid has already been absorbed, and the rice is not ready yet, you need to carefully add another 0.5 cups of water. I don't know why - but every time I have a different amount of liquid, it all depends, probably, on the type of rice. The standard ratio of rice to liquid is 1:2

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.
