Discover the crown jewel of Afghan cuisine with our authentic Kabuli Pullao, Afghanistan's national dish. This magnificent rice preparation features tender, succulent pieces of halal lamb cooked to perfection and served atop fragrant long-grain basmati rice that's been delicately spiced with cardamom, cumin, and other aromatic ingredients. Garnished with sweet caramelized carrots, plump golden raisins, and toasted almonds, every forkful offers a perfect harmony of savory, sweet, and nutty flavors that will transport you to the streets of Kabul.
Kabuli Pullao, also known as Qabili Palaw, is the pride of Afghan cuisine and holds a special place at every celebration and gathering. Our version stays true to the traditional recipe, beginning with premium halal lamb that's marinated with authentic Afghan spices and slow-cooked until incredibly tender. The rice is prepared separately using the finest basmati, steamed with whole spices including green cardamom, black peppercorns, and bay leaves, creating layers of aromatic flavor.
What makes Kabuli Pullao truly special is the beautiful garnish that crowns the dish. We prepare julienned carrots by caramelizing them with a touch of sugar until they develop a delicate sweetness and vibrant color. Plump raisins add bursts of natural sweetness, while toasted almonds provide a satisfying crunch. The combination creates a stunning presentation and a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Each element complements the tender lamb and fragrant rice, making this dish a complete meal on its own. Traditionally served at weddings and special occasions in Afghanistan, our Kabuli Pullao brings that same festive spirit to your table, whether you're enjoying it for a family dinner or celebrating a special moment.
