I’m having a dinner party on Saturday and have decided to serve qabli pilau to have something different. I will also be making shaami kebabs, salad, rajma daal, raita and some sort of veg. I usually make a dry chicken or meat dish and a wet chicken or meat dish, but have no idea what to serve with the qabli pilau. It seems like a bit of an overkill to serve another gosht dish. Any ideas? What about dessert ideas? I always make a western dessert and shahi tukra, but want to do something different.
The meat/chicken should be something I can make the day ahead. Thanks
If the kabli pulao has goat in it, then make a dry chicken dish. its the most versatile b/c it can be eaten w/ rice, or if someone doesnt want rice, they can eat it w/ roti…also, chicken is always more popular than goat…
Amana i woujld love to have a recipe of that afghani pulao. Rest, like sara said if the pulao has gosht in it make a salan of the other kind of meat like a chicken jalfrezi or something.
Hmmmm... from teh sounds of it, i dont think u even need any grayv/sauce type dish w/ it, just yogurt/tzaziki sauce is fine... just make a dish that ppl who aren't into lamb and/or rice, can eat
I like my qabuli pulao without anything topping it, you cannot let anything mix with its taste, well not me anyway. I love the slightly sweet tinge to the meat. With regular pulao or channa pulao I love mint chutney but nothing on this one. it is soooooo yumm. Have to ask mum to make it this weekend
oh sometimes my mom puts raisins in some pulao but I love raita with every pulao. It is my favorite desi food pulao (any kind) with raita (and not that thin raita with red pepper they make in karachi)
fraudz :k: i absolutely hate salans over pulao, firstly the taste is ruined secondly its soooo oily with oil in both the rice and saalan. gross.
Amana a very good dessert I had over the weekend was some sort of apricot/ yoghurt type of dish. The lady got canned and dried apricots cooked them together and mashed them up to a thick clumpy paste. then she layered them at the bottom of a dish and refrigerated them. Topped them with vanilla yoghurt but im thinking u could also use the same flavour yogurt too. then she topped with with cool whip and sprinkled some pistachios on top. I thought it came out pretty good. you could also try the homemade kulfi icecream which is dead easy and always liked.

Sorry, I like pulao the traditional way, I don't like when people add chillies, or tomatoes or use biryani masalas or give it that kind of touch. I guess I am more used to the more traditional kind of pulaos. Anyway, thanks for sharing your recipe.

Yes indeed! Pulao in its original form - the one cooked with the yakhni of sunaf, sabut dhanyia and garlic!
