About this dish

Kabuli pulao (or pulaw) is a variety of pilaf made in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. It is known in Afghanistan as Qābilī palaw, and in Uzbekistan as the Osh palov, with neither country referring to it by the name of the city, Kabul. In English the dish tends to be known by the name Kabuli. In Saudi Arabia it is known by the name Bukhari rice, after the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. The core ingredients are steamed rice mixed with caramelized carrots and raisins as well as marinated meat. Kabuli pulao is commonly garnished with almonds and pistachios. Saffron may be added to either the rice, the sauce or the garnishes. Varieties of Kabuli pulao have spread from Afghanistan to different parts of Western and Central Asia and Pakistan.
