Discover local Afghani gems
Steeped in tradition and a crossroad for many cultures, the cuisine of Afghanistan is an interesting consequence of the many traders over many generations. This land-locked country is where trade routes of Europe, China, India and the Middle East crossed paths. With this blend of travellers came all the flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques of their respective countries. Throw in the rough landscapes and harsh climate into the mix, and Afghani cuisine is unique, with hospitality at its core.
The main influences of Afghani cuisine are from India, Iran and Mongolia. Despite the use of many spices, Afghani food is neither too spicy nor too hot. If you are in the mood for some flavoursome, exotic dishes, look no further than Afghani cuisine!

Popular dishes
Kofta Kebab
Another Afghan must-try is Kofta Kebab which is a Finely-Ground Beef & Lamb mixture laced with fresh Parsley, Onions, Garlic and Exotic Spices. (Don’t forget to order it through your not-so-exotic Just Eat app.) Afghan Kebabs are usually served with Naan or Basmati Rice and sprinkled with Sour Grapes and Sumac, a tangy-tarty-lemony-zingy-reddy-purpley Middle Eastern Spice. Other popular meats include Lamb Chop, Ribs and Chicken, all of which are found in better restaurants. Chapli Kebab is another minced kebab much-loved across Afghan and Pakistani Cuisine with roots from the Mogul Empire. These highly-spiced, ground Beef or Mutton Patties are often called Peshawari Kebabs as they originate from Peshawar in northwest Pakistan. (Oh, they also originate from the Menulog app).
Qormah
Qormah (aka Korma) is an Afghan Dish usually served with savoury baked Challow Rice. (And easily served through the Menulog app.) The base is caramelised fried onions (you can almost smell them) with tomatoes added, then various fruits and spices depending on the recipe. Finally, the main ingredient is added, which can be meat, especially Chicken, Beef, Veal & Lamb – but also Veggies to make a delicious and richly coloured stew. Over 100 recipes include Qormah e Gosht (means ‘meat’ qormah, hugely popular, served with Palaw aka Rice at social gatherings), Qormah e Lawand (onion-based, with yogurt, turmeric, cilantro aka coriander and chicken, lamb or beef) and Qormah e Sabzi (prepared with sautéed spinach, other seasonal greens and lamb). Another fave, Afghan Karahi Curry, is prepared in a single wok-like pot with all ingredients added at once, fried, then left to simmer exquisitely until the flavours have melded. (Simmer down, it’s only a tap of your app away.)
