Tour Description
One does not simply come to Osh and leave without eating plov!
But what if I told you that you can enhance your plov experience by cooking your own? Intrigued? Then join my unconventional plov-cooking tour!
This culinary tour will take you through the entire process of plov-making. The journey begins by wandering through the local market’s alleys and collecting the ingredients. I will explain in detail why we use the yellow carrot, why the rice is red, and why the meat is 50/50 beef and lamb. While we gather the ingredients, you will learn how to bargain like a true Central Asian.
Afterward, you will join a local family to learn the nuances of plov preparation. You will be involved in preparing, cutting, and sending the ingredients to the kazan (cauldron). While the plov cooks, you will have extra time to explore the neighborhood and see everyday life in Osh. And last but not least, you will enjoy your culinary masterpiece and hear the rituals, stories, and legends about plov.
