The best recipe indeed. I’m not afghan but tried kabuli pulao at a restaurant and it immediately became my favorite rice dish. I made yesterday for the first time after following your recipe and it turned out amazing! Thank you for sharing your method! 😊

Looking for a different rice recipe I stumbled over your beautiful dish and will try this tomorrow for sure. it reminds me a bit of Biryani rice which is one of my all time favorites. Thanks a lot for your effort and the easy and clear instructions and demonstration. It looks delicious and I'm sure hubby and I will like it. All the best to you 🥰!

NB One thing though ... try to get rid of our Western "culture" to use for everything an all aluminum foil. Nature has a tough time to break it down 😊. There are many other ways to keep the carrots/raisin mix moist and cooking as well as covering the pot in the oven. I'm an old woman and have re-trained myself and practically don't use it anymore. It's healthier and - though I'm not an environment freak 🙂 ... I believe we all can do our little share.

This looks amazing! I love the simplicity of this recipe. Which cut of beef should I use? I can’t bring myself to cook lamb.

i've had the kabuli pilau in an afghan restaurant in my area and let me tell you, the portion of it was extremely ample.
i managed to get through 90% of it before i took the rest as takeaway.
note: if you intend to have the kabuli pilau, make sure you have an empty stomach.

Thank you, out of all the recipes this one was the easiest to follow. Would I be able to use the beef juice/broth for future rice dishes?

I had Kabuli Pulao recently at an Afghan place for the first time and it was AMAZING.
For how many ppl is this recipe? ❤️

[Visionaryvibesss]

It looks delicious but rice is not juicy what side dish i should prepare with this recipe?

[sherbangash]

Can u share a link of the background music? It was on YouTube years ago but has been deleted now. Thanks

[erikOHsix]

is the sugar part important? I'm afraid that I'll do that part wrong. Can I use karo syrup as a substitue?

[rubinaislam]

Why the caramelized sugar in the rice?
