抓饭，也叫手抓饭，是西亚、中亚、**、北印度等地的传统食物，在乌兹别克是国菜。不同地方的手抓饭有不同的风味，除了用料不同外，佐料也是主要原因。

抓饭在西亚、中亚、北印度等地的语言中被称为pilav、pilau、plov、pulao、polu等，最终皆源自梵文pulāka，意思为直立，可能指米饭粉粒分明的样貌。

中文「抓饭」一词应是因为会吃抓饭的民族大多直接以手抓取食用而得名，**手抓饭确指用手抓取食用。如今许多人不再用手抓取，但依然称其抓饭。

Pilaf is a dish in which rice is cooked in a seasoned broth. In some cases, the rice may also attain its brown colour by being stirred with pieces of cooked onion, as well as a mix of spices. Depending on the local cuisine, it may also contain meat, fish, vegetables, pasta, and dried fruits.
