Central Asian Plov Centre

Plov is the national disk in Uzbek. Typical plov consists of rice, carrots, and meat (horse meat) cooked together, but every corner of Uzbekistan makes its own version and claims to have the best one. Not only is plov an important source of nourishment for the Uzbeks, but it also represents hospitality of Uzbek and is also the culture identity.
