About Qabuli

Qabuli, also known as Kabuli Pulao, is a fragrant and flavorful rice dish originating from Afghanistan. It is made with basmati rice, tender pieces of meat (commonly lamb or beef), and a blend of warm spices such as cardamom, cumin, and cinnamon. Garnished with sweetened carrots, raisins, and slivered almonds, Qabuli balances savory and slightly sweet elements, creating a rich and satisfying meal. The dish is traditionally prepared using generous amounts of oil or butter, which contribute to its rich taste but also increase its calorie count. However, it offers nutritional benefits from its protein-rich meat and the addition of nuts and dried fruits, which provide vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats. While Qabuli may be high in calories and carbs, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, showcasing the robust flavors of Afghan cuisine.
