[edit]Etymology
[edit]From earlier Classical Persian پِلَاوْ (pilāw) / پَلَاوْ (palāw), borrowed from Hindustani पुलाव (pulāv) / پُلاؤ (pulāv), from Sanskrit पुलाक (pulāka, “lump of boiled rice”).
The term is said to be of Dravidian origin; compare Kannada ಪುೞ್ಗಿ (puḻgi, “a rice dish”), Malayalam പുഴുങ്ങുക (puḻuṅṅuka, “to be boiling”), Tamil புழுக்கல் (puḻukkal, “cooked rice”), and Telugu పులగము (pulagamu, “a dish made with rice and lentils”).
Compare पुलाक (pulāka)'s inhertied descendant Punjabi ਪੁਲਾਉ / پُلاؤ (pulāu).
