Afghan Savory Sticky Rice, known as Shola, is a rich, comforting dish rooted in traditional Afghan cuisine. Made with short-grain rice, mung beans, and tender meat such as lamb or beef, this hearty recipe is flavored with spices like turmeric, garlic, and cumin, creating a blend of earthy and aromatic notes. Shola is typically slow-cooked to achieve a creamy, sticky consistency. Nutritionally, it offers a good balance of protein from the meat and mung beans, as well as energy from the rice. Mung beans contribute fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a wholesome option. However, its richness in carbohydrates and potential for added oils or fats during cooking means portion control is important for those monitoring caloric intake. A staple of Afghan gatherings, Shola is both nourishing and deeply rooted in cultural tradition.
