Qabili Palau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qabili Palau or simply Palau is an Afghani rice dish made by cooking basmati or long grained rice in a brothy sauce (which makes the rice brown). This dish may be made with lamb, chicken, or beef. Qabili palau is baked in the oven and topped with fried sliced-carrots and raisins. Chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds may be added as well. The meat is covered by the rice or buried in the middle of the dish.
Qabili Palau is famous not just in Afghanistan but also in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and ethnic Pashtun parts of Pakistan.
