HELP: Afghani Biryani and Sides

**I’m surprising parents for dinner tonight :blush:

I do have a recipe I plan on following, as it seems simple enough: **

http://www.paklinks.com/gs/household-affairs-and-cuisine-corner/280251-ruz-bukhari-afghani-biryani.html

**But if you would like to share any tips, you’re more then welcome to, since this is my first time making biryani :sid:. Like how do you make the carrots sweet? Or What are the best nuts to use? etc.

But my main question is SIDES! What type of dahi or ritha goes on the side of this type of biryani? What type of salad? Any chutney? I would like to keep it as traditional as possible to Afghani cuisine.

Thank you. And whatever it turns out to be, I shall share pics :hehe:**

Good luck :k:
do post pics for us :smiley:

I've cooked Afghani biryani a lots of times....I've been experimenting to make it more tasty (and a little pakistani touch... mirchii). Everyone loves to eat it!!! It's so delicious! And very easy to make.

I had Afghani/Kabuli Pulao some months back at a very traditional Afghani Restaurant and they served 'Channa daal' with it. In small bowls. It was cooked dry (no gravy) and was a little spicy to go with the sweet and salty taste of the pulao. We were kinda amazed as to why they brought us daal when we didn't order it. When we told them we didn't want this, they said it's with the Pulao.

And it tasted awesome with the daal!!

Good luck, Gaia. :hugz:

I would eat the rice with a sauce I think it’s called Mirza Ghasmi…made with yogurt and aubergine.

Re: HELP: Afghani Biryani and Sides

So did you make it yet??

Re: HELP: Afghani Biryani and Sides

Hurry up, Gaia. I’m hungry. :mad:

I love afghani food. It's so flavorful but not spicy. I love their brown rice and the yoghurt sauces. They serve it with yoghurt sauce which is a combo of mayo, yogurt, vinegar, and dill. Would love to get the proper proportions though. Their salad with yoghurt sauce is heavenly. Their eggplant dish is very flavorful. Haven't been successful in finding good recipes though. Please do post pics of your cooked dish and sides.

Re: HELP: Afghani Biryani and Sides

ahhhh after all the hard work!!!

With the Afghan biryani I made a side of Afghan lentils (with inspiration from hadeel) & cucumber rita!

Would have made what Hareem suggested but didn’t have any eggplants.

AND, my parents have lost count of how many servings they’ve had tonight:blush:
