Kabuli Palaw
The culinary specialties reflect the nation's ethnic and geographic diversity. The national dish of Afghanistan is Kabuli Palaw, a rice dish cooked with raisins, carrots, nuts, and lamb or beef.
Qabali Palaw (alternatively Kabuli and either palao, pulaw, or pilav) can be made with either chicken or lamb and cooked in stock or water, or a combination of the two, and gets a rich brown color from a base of slowly caramelized onions. It is served topped with julienned carrots and often with raisins and nuts as well. The final presentation of the dish is nearly universal; never before in our research for a dish on The World Cup of Food have, we seen so much uniformity. The meat is topped with the rice (and always fully covered) on a large platter, then the carrot/raisin/nut mixture is spread on top.
