    Bens Original Pilau Microwave Rice

    Bens Original Pilau Microwave Rice is a ready-to-heat spiced rice made for the microwave, served beside curries, kebabs and grilled meat. It saves you rinsing, boiling and draining rice when you want a hot side dish fast.

    What Pilau Rice Tastes Like

    Pilau rice is rice with a mild, fragrant seasoning rather than a hot one. Traditional pilau is cooked with warm spices such as cumin, cardamom and cinnamon, and often with onion.

    The grains should be soft, separate and easy to fluff with a fork. That makes it a good match for saucy dishes, because the rice soaks up the gravy without turning heavy.

    Ways to Serve Pilau Microwave Rice

    Pilau rice goes with most things people cook for a weeknight curry. These are some easy ideas:

    • Beside chicken tikka masala, butter chicken or lamb rogan josh
    • With dal and a spoonful of raita for a simple vegetarian-style supper
    • Under chilli, stew or a spicy bean dish instead of plain white rice
    • With seekh kebabs, grilled chicken and a crisp salad
    • Packed into a lunch box with leftover curry, ready to heat at work

    Simple Ways to Make It a Full Meal

    Bens Original Pilau Microwave Rice works well as a base for a quick one-bowl meal. Heat the rice by the instructions on the pack, then stir in extras while it is hot.

    Cooked peas, sweetcorn, shredded leftover chicken or fried onions all mix in easily. A squeeze of lemon and some fresh coriander lift the flavour just before serving.

    Fluff the grains with a fork before you serve. This breaks up any clumps and keeps the rice light.

    Pilau Microwave Rice FAQ

    Is pilau rice the same as plain rice?

    No, pilau rice is seasoned, while plain boiled rice has no added flavour. Pilau has a gentle, spiced taste, so it can be eaten with simpler dishes too.

    What is the difference between pilau and biryani?

    Pilau is rice cooked with spices, while biryani is layered with marinated meat or vegetables and cooked together. Pilau is milder and much quicker to serve as a side.

    How do I heat microwave rice properly?

    Follow the heating instructions printed on the pack, as microwave power varies. Let the rice stand briefly afterwards, then fluff it with a fork.

    Add Bens Original Pilau Microwave Rice to your basket so there is a hot, spiced side ready for your next curry night.

    We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect.

Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.
