Afghanistan Food

Afghan Food

Afghanistan food is delicious! It is easy to prepare and typically uses the freshest ingredients. Here, we'll discuss the social customs, traditions, special occasions, and especially the recipes.

I've organized the recipes into the following categories:

  • Breads
  • Street Food (Afghan fast food)
  • Pasta
  • Kebabs
  • Rice Pilaus
  • Vegetable Dishes
  • Fruits and Desserts
  • Beverages

This is by no means comprehensive, so I'll try adding additional recipes later. You are always welcome to contact me me if you desire a certain recipe you cannot find.

Ghee - what is it?

Ghee is like a Ghee is made by first making butter, and then clarifying it. This is done by boiling until the solids settle, and the liquid left on top is strained and cooled. Once cooled, it solidifies usually at room temperature.

It can be used in place of the Western lard, or vegetable shortening in recipes. However, it does have a bit of a different taste and may take some getting used to.

Don't use it to make large batches of mixes ahead of time, because at room temp, the Ghee will go rancid. On other words, I tried making a large batch of pancake mix to have on hand in Pakistan, and the stuff tasted horrible.
