Shola is a hearty and traditional Afghan dish celebrated for its rich flavors and comforting texture. Made primarily from mung beans, rice, and sometimes lentils, this dish is slow-cooked to achieve its signature creamy consistency. Shola is often seasoned with turmeric, garlic, and onions, which lend it a warm, aromatic profile, and can be garnished with fresh cilantro or yogurt for added flavor and nutrition. Originating from Afghanistan’s rich culinary heritage, it is a food of choice for family gatherings and special occasions. Nutritionally, Shola offers a good source of plant-based proteins, fiber, and essential vitamins from legumes and whole grains. However, its healthfulness can vary depending on the use of oils or toppings, which may add extra calories. For a lighter version, minimal oil and fresh, minimally processed garnishes are recommended.
