Spiced rice dish (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

pilau

pilaf

(Other definitions for pilau that I've seen before include "Indian dish of rice boiled with meat, vegetables, spices etc" , "Spicy rice dish from the East" , "Speciality" , "Rice cooked in well-seasoned broth" , "Type of rice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily and the Universal.
