I assume that's what the afghans call those spinach turnovers? They're never greasy .. And coupled with mint yogurt sauce I believe to be the ideal meal and/or appetizer .. Don't mind the recipe for that either pls.

i found this for ya sis,

http://www.chineseop.com/cuisine/Does-anyone-have-a-recipe-for-afgan-spinach-bolani-.html


the bread part in that link is readymade,
so here's the recipe for the bread:

BOLANI DOUGH
Ingredients
10-14 c. whole-wheat flour (amount of flour will depend of humidity and elevation)
4 tsp. salt
4 cups warm water
4 tsp. olive oil
(You may add one or two eggs if you would like a flakier crust.)
Directions
Mix flour and salt. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour oil in well. Add water incrementally as you fold flour over oil. The dough should be a bit drier than a pizza dough but a bit more wet than a scone dough. Let dough sit covered for an hour to an hour and a half.
Roll out a ball of dough 1/3 the size of the palm of your hand. The dough should be very very think, almost 1/32” thick, and 6-9” in diameter. Put a large spoonful of one of the fillings below and spread over one half of the circle, working from the center out. Be sure to leave a bit of room to pinch a small crust. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and pinch the sides together, using water to secure the dough if necessary. Brush the top with oil and grill on George Foreman grill or sandwich press for about 5 minutes, or until all of the dough has turned from light brown to a golden tan.
Serve with strained, plain yogurt or your favorite sweet or spicy chutney.

Jazaka Allah khyran akhi..
btw what is indian palak paratha and garam masala?

I have to say when I have it at the afghan kebab house and I have had all of them the pumpkin and meat varieties etc but the potatoes 'kacheloo' I think they're called and the Spinach are my favorite.. so light and airy and not greasy it doesn't bother my stomach at all and I have suffered since childhood with all kinds of tummy problems so I like to keep it simple.. Indian food and I have had many Indian friends over the years, when they make me something I can be sure that my eagerness to please and eat what they've made will turn to dread sometime around 3 am :skeleton:

I wonder why the Afghans are so secretive with their recipes? I also like their raisin carrot rice and their 'shir chai'

this is what it looks like:



with the mint yogurt mmmmm mmmmmm.. of course when my mom makes it it doesn't taste the same.. I asked the owner for the recipe and he said that he uses dill weed and garlic etc.. going to try it soon..

Also their bread differs from the middle eastern bread I am used to and the Indian Naan .. it is nicer than both ..

welcome sis,
Palak is a type of spinach that is available more in winter season. It is tasty, easy to clean and also cooks faster.
paratha is obviously the greasy bread
the palak paratha is parata with palak in it, you can add all sorts of ingredients, including lentils coriander, jeera etc into paratha to make it a ready to go portable meal which you can just munch without much fuss. sort of like a "breakfast bar", or should i say "lunch roll".
here's a link:
http://www.cookatease.com/palak-paratha-indian-bread-with-spinach

garam masala is just a blend of ground spices, although "garam" means "hot", it doesn't have to be hot, just intense.
the ingredients vary from region to region, my mum calls it "mix powder", she just buys a bunch of different packs and mixes them into one large jar.

never made it in my life sis, but it does look nice, i like experimenting with different ingredients and have the women screaming with laughter when i throw something unlikely in, they usually turn out great and they finally grudgingly admit that it's ok.
i did regularly choose crepes at the local market before and used to love it, they'd use loads of cheese and spinach and jamaican chilli and olives and mushrooms, all made in front of your eyes.
mmmmmmmmmmm soft and greasy

I don't like soft and greasy =( I like crunchy and savory .. and I don't like things to be so overstuffed that they're cloying or have a funny after taste, rather the right kind of ooze.. I have never cooked in my life outside of sandwiches and eggs (because I don't like cooking odor) but have recently gained interest (not in the odor but the cooking) I might shop around for the right recipe insha'Allah and give it a go.. what's the worst that could happen :skeleton:

Probably that everyone else politely munches away to keep you happy, and you eagerly munch away simply because you made it. :)
I remember American mustard sauce didn't go too well with pasteurised milk and dessicated coconut in the lamb curry....... But that was a one off :)

well in my defense the tea didn't come in tea bags my family liked it loose so when it looked a little light when I made it, I kept adding a little of this and a little of that, then a little more of this and a little more of that.. when we had it, it was just so disgusting it turned my stomach instantly I assure you I know how to make excellent tea since.. of course there was a large gap to learn that perfection after I accidentally set the kitchen on fire shortly there after...imsad

Paratha is the traditional roti (chappati) made will butter/ghee sis. Stuffed paratha is made with fillings like boloni. :)

Here are some paratha recipes u can try:

http://www.pakladies.com/how-to-make...h-urdu-recipe/

The layered Paratha:
http://www.pakladies.com/lacha-paratha/

All kinds of Parathas:

http://www.angelfire.com/country/fau...ipe/bread.html


With Potatoes:
http://www.angelfire.com/country/fau...ooparatha.html

With White Raddish (Daikon) (Mooli in urdu) filling:

http://www.angelfire.com/country/fau...liparatha.html

http://preetyskitchen.blogspot.com/2...blog-post.html


Even u can have a mincemeat Paratha or cauliflower one also.


Spinach filled Paratha would be tricky, but if u cook Spinach in such a way that the water is all dried, then it will stay inside the Paratha.

Take a packet of spinach from the supermarket, which is already chopped.Otherwise buy fresh spinach, wash and clean, put it in the pot , cover and let it cook ,When it is nicely cooked, put it in the blender, it will become fluffy. Now, in a pot put some oil about 2 tablespoons, add garlic and ginger paste,1 teaspoon each would be enough.Add the spinach, salt, red chilli powder, and if u like add cumin powder and coriander powder and some chopped green chilies.Fry for some minutes and mix well with spices. I think this fluffy spinach will be difficult to keep inside a Paratha, so u can make a Paratha separately, and eat with the Spinach/Palak.


You can make Paratha in oil, like olive oil also. And you can use very little oil also.Its not necessary that you use butter or ghee in the parathas.

Eh I thought you'd come here? I prefer the UK me thinks:p But trust me if I could make parathas for you, I'd keep trying until I got it just the way you like it. However hold that thought about the tea shop insha Allah. It's definitely worth considering once I'm fit and healthy again insha Allah.

Lol not but I could only eat a spinach one if it's been cooked by myself or my mum, or any Pakistani for that matter.

Here's an Indian recipe for spinach paratha (I might try it). Hope that helps insha Allah :)

AAAhh.... now I understand!!
In indonesia we have some type of dish called "nasi kebuli", or "kebuli rice".
I always thought it originated from India or Arab because of the palau rice and/or because many indian/arabs cook them.
Now I know that kebuli = kabuli

Yeah we've very similar stuff called shish kebab, gyros, shawarema.. we make it with tahini sauce.. it is actually very similar in taste to the afghani version.. I think we just use fries if at all or pickles rather than this raisin carrot rice which I adore..

That's just the menu from one of the restaurants I frequent quite possible he got it wrong not you.. along with the turnovers that's usually what I order when I eat at an afghan restaurant except I do like the lamb more than the chicken.. also I like the shir chai and the ice cream although I have it every once in a blue moon really puts me in the right mood.
I like afghani food much more than Indian food, as it lacks the heart burn that ensues and there are no funny colors or what at times is a sweet cloying after taste but I am told by my friends that such things depend on region.

You came online after so many days just to disclose something that was between you and me?:raging: I'm not rich enough to slaughter a cow, even sheep (the promised ones) are getting out of range (you don't worry I'll keep my word :p). I can't remember when last I bought a sheep for Namkeen Ghosht (Slaty meat) which I make the best. I also make very tasty liver bbq.

But both of these things involve typical utensils and are best made in open area.

I dont doubt what you are saying, you are living in a country where people are more interested in Veena Malik than rising prices.

You should not worry about the animals, just keep praying I become a radiologist! Then we can buy a whole farm (inshAllah!).

And not too fond of livers and spleens (and intestines, some people eat these :S), the question is, can you make Raan?

and I love parathas, always have, save mooli waala paratha. What sort do you make?

MashaAllah, beautiful Dasterkhawan. Whenever we have the parathas, it can be alo (potatoes), moli (white raddish), gobi (cauliflower), or keema (the mincemeat). Otherwise the simple ones can go with any vegetables, omelettes, curry, korma, dal (lentils), the list goes on... The parathas go best when it is rainy season or at breakfast.

ooh man, those turnips seem irresistible. My mom makes similar stuff, the parathas are of same color (buttered all over!) and those turnips/shalgum with shora (soup) are just amazing.

Nice kettle as well :)

Good to know that you can make aalo paratha! You better start preparing for an eating rampage at your place soon.
