Today I tell you about the kitchen. Like other eastern cuisine, kitchen Afghanistan is very ancient. But because of the natural features of the country's Afghan table does not differ by such a variety, such as the Armenian. Nevertheless, the local food is delicious and nutritious. There pilaf and eat kebabs, stews and rice, cheese and cakes, milk and dairy products. At first glance, a set of dishes is very similar to other dishes of Central Asian countries. However, if you look closely, but rather to compare the tastes, you find that the similarity is only superficial. Spices, cooking technique, a combination of products - everything has a distinct national character.

The pride of the Afghan cooks safely be called Shami kebab (made from minced meat mixed with egg and vegetable puree), tas-kebab (beef, first fried in boiling oil. And then boiled in wine). Absolutely superb variety of options for pilaf, such as Kabul drank and drank e-Shahi (royal pilaf). The first is made from rice and lamb with sliced ​​yellow carrots and raisins, and the second (real triumph of culinary genius!) - Of unpolished rice from Afghan lamb, sheep fat, raisins and pistachios. Sometimes the royal pilaf add cloves.

By the way, the Afghan culinary tradition is very loyal to replace meat pilaf. Therefore, if there is no yangyatiny. That it is possible to replace a bone beef and even chicken. The only thing that banned - it is pork, as in other Islamic countries.
