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 descendants Gujarati પુલાવ (pulāv) and Punjabi ਪੁਲਾਉ (pulāu) / پُلاؤ (pulāu).
