El Tahchin Morgh es un plato a base de arroz. Se compone de dos partes: la capa inferior, llamada Tahdig (Tah=inferior + dig=olla), que se obtiene mezclando el pollo, el azafrán y los demás ingredientes, y la capa superior hecha sólo de arroz blanco. En farsi, Tahchin significa "extendida en la parte inferior" y Morgh significa "pollo".

Paloo is the Kirgiz version of a dish that in the Central Asia is commonly called Plov. It’s made of pieces of meat (usually mutton or beef, sometimes chicken) fried in a big qazan (a cast iron cauldron) and mixed with fried chopped carrots, jiuicai (Chinese chive) and cooked rice. The dish is garnished with fried garlic cloves and red peppers. Shirin Paloo is a vegetarian dish where meat has been replaced with dried fruits, such as prunes, apricots and raisins.

Plov is one of the main Uzbek typical dishes, usually cooked with rice, pieces of meat, carrots and onions. The origin of this dish is bound to a legend!
