Kabuli palaw

Afghanistan · South Asia

Short description: This celebratory rice pilaf layers tender meat with spiced rice, carrots, and dried fruit.
Ingredients: Rice with lamb or mutton, carrots, raisins, onion, garlic, cardamom, cumin, oil, and nuts.
Cultural note: It is a guest-table centerpiece for weddings, holidays, and family gatherings, with each cook balancing sweet garnish and savory meat.
Common misconception: It is not just plain pilaf with raisins; meat stock and the fried carrot-raisin garnish are central to the dish.
