Teach me how to make Bolani Sabzi from scratch

[Tyrion]

Kabuli Palow is the classic afghan rice dish named for the capitol city.

Is it really named after Kabul? Pretty sure Kabul is spelled with a ك while Kabuli Palow/Qabuli Palow is spelled with a ق... Then again, I'm pretty weak in my knowledge of these things. :

All I know for sure is that it's one of my favorites (with chicken instead of lamb)... Along with Mantoo... My mom makes both of them sooooo well.

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.

I do not know much about Afghan food but Tilmeez promised me that we will slaughter cows at his farm house and make fresh Chapali Kababs (peshawari/afghani spicy kabab), here's to hoping that comes to fruition but not sure since he seems to have forgotten to keep in touch.

Subhanallah!
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 ). 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 hope I don't get killed for following this thread for so long and not giving any input. I will try taking photos of normal prathas which are a routine in our home

I'm hungry and you guys are talking about such delicacies. Have some compassion for your brother. :-[

P.s. - I'm waiting for pasta which I asked for 15 mins ago. :hmm:

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?

 

[Tilmeez]

^CP, we normally make simple ones or occasionally Aalo pratha Never made moli pratha... Yaas to Raaan

This is what we had on our Dasterkhawan this morning... a routine breakfast at our home is consist of prathas and roti, prathas to be eaten with milk (my daughters) with tea (my wife) and Roti with left over Saalan of night (for me).

Yeah, this is Turnips and Potatoes :ermm:

I was wondering if the size of Pratha matters :X

Edit:
Coming up next:`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~`,~

I will try taking a few picture of Qahwah I normally have.... hope brothers and sisters will be pleased to have some qahwah after spinach and prathas

Yum yum masha'Allah .. Yes I'd not mind some Turkish coffee after

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.

parathas ARE for breakfast.. (atleast at my home^o))

 

[CosmicPathos]

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.

Jazaki Allah khyran sis.. how did you ever find that?.. and the more important question is why don't they have the recipe for spinach.. I'd like to know how they get it to be so airy, do they add cheese or cream or what...

I dont know much about afghan food. I googled it, and I found that link I posted.
