Afghan cuisine is largely based upon the nation's chief crops: cereals like wheat, maize, barley and rice. Accompanying these staples are dairy products (yogurt, whey), various nuts, and native vegetables, and fresh and dried fruits; Afghanistan is well known for its grapes. Afghanistan's culinary specialties reflect its ethnic and geographic diversity and has similarities with neighboring Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.


Qaboli Palao is the national dish of Afghanistan. It is consists of meat & stock, topped with fried raisins, slivered carrots and pistachios. It is a dish in which a grain, such as rice or cracked wheat, is browned in oil, and then cooked in a seasoned broth.

The American children described their favorite foods. The Afghan children took pictures.

Afghani cuisine is mild - somewhat similar to the Iranian food I have had - love them all and quite different from Indian/Pakistani. Middle Eastern foods are wonderful and, here again, quite different. There are some staples such as yogurt, some of the breads, etc.
