Afghan food is similar to the Middle East’s and India’s, they use many of the same spices. But Afghan cuisine is milder and lighter than its Indian neighbor.
Many of the ingredients used in Afghan dishes probably aren’t in your spice shelf, but you can find them at Asian or Middle Eastern shops.

Kabuli Palau is Afghanistan’s most famous food dish. Softly cooked and seasoned beef or lamb mixed with brown basmati rice and delicately seasoned with thin strips of carrots, raisins, and almonds. It takes a while to make but it is well worth it. The wonderful combination and addition of carrots and raisins in the rice makes the meal tasty and unique.
