Afghan cuisine is the unsung hero of Central Asian cooking. Sharing deep roots with Persian and Indian traditions, it has a distinct identity built around generous rice dishes, slow-braised meats, and hand-crafted dumplings (mantu, aushak). Kabuli Palaw — fragrant rice with carrots, raisins, and lamb — is the national dish and a symbol of Afghan hospitality.
