Thank you so much.. my father is an afghan and he hasn't been to Afghanistan since 35 years.. he loved it when i made this.. and he said this is the most authentic way of making kabuli pulao.. he remembered his good old days in Afghanistan.. thank u
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.
@@authenticallyafghan I honestly forgot to come back to you with a big compliment from hubby and from me - sorry. We absolutely loved it and I made it already twice!! Thanks a lot for these easy recipe. Instead of using foil I placed both (the rice/meat and carrots/raisins) in glass containers with a lid and it came out perfect. I kept 2 spoons of white rice on the side and sprinkled it over the carrot/raisins as added décor - it looked great and it tasted superb. It has been integrated in our list of menus. Thanks again and looking forward to more recipes. All the best to you 🙏! Edit: I replaced the oil with butter and then put the sugar ... yummy! as I don't use oil.
Couple of questions. Does adding foil and baking the rice make the rice on the top hard and dry? Is it better to put the pot on the stove and cover with a damp cloth and put weight on? Or is that not desired?
No the rice will definitely not be hard or dry. In fact, putting it in the oven evenly cooks everything especially if you are making a big amount of rice. You can also put it on the stove on low heat with a cloth under the lid and put a weight on top of the lid if u want to try it that way.
Yes you can use beef or lamb. If you don’t have an oven, then you can put it on the stove top on almost all the way low for 30 minutes. You would place a towel or cloth under the lid and can put a weight on top but not necessary.
@@aworldwithoutwalls You can do the final step on the stove. I have a video on how to make Afghan rice on the stove. You can refer to that video . But basically, you put a thick cloth/towel under your pot’s lid and cover. Then you would put the heat on high for like 30 seconds just to get the steam going and then you would put the heat down to almost completely low for 25-30 minutes.
When it says “rice masala” is it only black cumin, or is it the rice masala that you’re talking about in your other videos that has cardamom , black cumin, etc ??
So you do not need to add water or meat broth to cook the rice ? Will it still cook with only the syrup? I want to make this but confused 😕please advise x
The rice mainly cooks when you boil it for 10 minutes but adding about 2/3 cup of the meat broth helps to soften it in the oven. Good luck on making it!
What kind of raisins have you used? I can never find the right raisins for it. Golden raisin for black raisins. I think i used black raisins before and they didnt taste good with kabuli pulao
I have never tried that, but the sugar is important for giving the dish its color and distinct flavor. You just need to heat the sugar on medium heat until it burns (turns black).
I don't understand because I checked composition of rice masala and spices are similar to garam masala. Are you sure rice masala is only cumin and cinnamon ? Also, could you tell me the weight of rice used for this recipe ? @@authenticallyafghan
I used cumin for the beef and homemade rice masala on the rice. I have posted a video for my rice masala, if you cannot make that, you can simply use ground black cumin!
I loved the way you showed how to cook these rice but i have 2 questions. First did u boil the rice completely or 80-90% ? Secondly can we place a nonstick pan In oven?
I boiled the rice almost completely so yes, about 80-90% done. And for the nonstick pan, you would have to check the care instructions depending on the brand you’re using.
Sorry about that, it’s probably because of the type of rice that you used. Different types of rice will need different boiling time. I use Afghan Baghlani rice.
There was a pakistani RUclips cooking page that used like 9 more spices in her Qabuli pallow than you.ruclips.net/video/eDoxV3EV6GU/видео.html She had cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and all kinds of things. Who is more authentic, you or her?
The rice masala mix that I use has ground black cardamom, ground cloves, ground cumin seeds, and ground green cardamom. I uploaded a video on the exact recipe for the rice masala if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/FygfBDqZBBg/видео.html
Watch Nooria Ali kabuli palao recipe on RUclips. She has a seperate video for the spices/and correct amounts. This one isn’t really authentic and some of the steps are way off.
@@authenticallyafghanare you sure it’s black cumin or just regular cumin bcoz I saw your rice Masala recipe video there it looks regular white cumin not black …black cumin is very strong in flavor plz confirm jazak Allaah khair

You can use beef

My first, and you are the best instructor
I had Kabuli Pulao recently at an Afghan place for the first time and it was AMAZING.
For how many ppl is this recipe? ❤️
This will feed 6 to 8 people
It looks delicious but rice is not juicy what side dish i should prepare with this recipe?
The meat, carrots, and raisins make this dish juicy and usually, you would have an Afghan salad on the side.
Very Nice ❤

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?
Yes you definitely can! Just don’t forget to reserve some for the Kabuli

Did you made the same way she made …plz do let me know I m concerned about black cumin bcoz as I know it’s very strong flavor…
Can we substitute beef for lamb? And how long to cook if you don’t have an oven
Yes you can use beef or lamb. If you don’t have an oven, then you can put it on the stove top on almost all the way low for 30 minutes. You would place a towel or cloth under the lid and can put a weight on top but not necessary.

Wow looks delicious, did you put all the meat broth on the rice or just a few spoons?
Thank u. I only poured a few spoons of the broth. If u pour too much, the rice will come out wet.
Hi. Thank you for this recipe. for the rice masala should we use ground black cumin or char masala? thank you
I’m not sure what char masala is, I have posted a video on my personal rice masala recipe. Or, you can simply use ground black cumin.
@@authenticallyafghanis black cumin kalongi?
@@Gummy888its black zeera
@@authenticallyafghani think she meant to say chat masala
The rice masala is only ground black cumin ? Or is there anything else as well ?
You can use just ground black cumin or follow the separate video I have on rice masala.
When it says “rice masala” is it only black cumin, or is it the rice masala that you’re talking about in your other videos that has cardamom , black cumin, etc ??
You can use either one. Typically, it would be the one with the grounded spices but just ground black cumin is fine too. You can also use cinnamon.
@@authenticallyafghan Do you mean cinnamon instead of the black cumin or as an extra ingredient? (And how much?)
Where would I find the rice masala?

I used Sunmaid black raisins
is the sugar part important? I'm afraid that I'll do that part wrong. Can I use karo syrup as a substitue?
I have never tried that, but the sugar is important for giving the dish its color and distinct flavor. You just need to heat the sugar on medium heat until it burns (turns black).
I will make this. But won't that much salt make the rice taste too salty.?
Hope you enjoy! And no not at all, all of the salt does not absorb into the rice, it's like when you salt the water when boiling pasta.
@@authenticallyafghan I made it. It was beautiful. 👌
What is rice masala plz tell me

Is it possible to replace rice massala by garam massala ?
You can, but will change the flavor a lot. Instead just use ground cumin and cinnamon.
I don't understand because I checked composition of rice masala and spices are similar to garam masala. Are you sure rice masala is only cumin and cinnamon ? Also, could you tell me the weight of rice used for this recipe ? @@authenticallyafghan
MashAllah this video was the best!!😍😍😍 do you know where I can find those design plates that used to put the rice on?
Afghan stores near you. Sometimes Persian stores may have them.
@@moeknows8802 Thank you!!!
i like the way you have filmed and edited this video, it's easy to follow 🫶🏻
What were the spices that you used?
I used cumin for the beef and homemade rice masala on the rice. I have posted a video for my rice masala, if you cannot make that, you can simply use ground black cumin!
What's the point of baking the rice? Can't we put them on dum instead?
Putting it in the oven combines all the flavors much better and gives the rice good texture since there’s heat all around the pot.
Yes we can
Nice. 350 F or C?
350 F
I loved the way you showed how to cook these rice but i have 2 questions. First did u boil the rice completely or 80-90% ? Secondly can we place a nonstick pan In oven?

Doesnt the rice stick together ? Mine does every time
q
@@iulianabalint8124that means you over cooked it. It still has to be a bit firm in the center after boiling
@@negina You also need to wash out the starch thru water
Did you use stew meat beef or some other kind of beef?
It’s not stew meat, these are just assorted bone-in pieces of beef (it’s actually preferable to use lamb in this dish)
@@authenticallyafghan hi, if we use lamb is the cooking time the same? Or would you recommend we cook it for longer?
@@salmayoussef8106 The same cooking time for lamb, but it all depends on the size of the pieces of meat.
Cumin is toasted or not roasted ?
Cumin is ground
Can’t figure out the quantity of meat
Is it 1 kg or 2kg ?
It looks like 1 kg in the video.
4 pounds of meet is about 1.8 kg. You can feel free to use more/less meat to your preference.
Mashallah 😋😋😋
Ma sha Allah
Was that really salt you put it like a flowing water?
Yes it is salt. You need a good amount in order to salt that big amount of water to where the rice gets flavored.
which rice use in this recipe old rice or new rice??
I don’t really understand your question but I use Afghan basmati rice
Can someone explain why it comes into the oven ? 😮
Baking the Kabuli ensures that the flavor is spread throughout the dish and is necessary to finish cooking the rice and meat!
❤❤❤❤
Can I saute the carrots with oil and sugar?
No because the sugar and oil forms a syrup that needs to be drizzled on the rice.
What is rice masala?
I have posted a video of my recipe. Rice masala is a blend of herbs that we use to season rice.
Did you boil rice 100% or less you didn’t mention dear
I boiled the rice for 10 minutes, which is about 80% cooked. The rest of the cooking is done once you put it in the oven.
@@authenticallyafghanDid you soak the rice for an hour in cold, warm or hot water?

Hey we don’t have oven what’s the go here
You can put it on low on the stove top if you don’t have an oven. Just make sure to put a cloth under the lid of the pot .
Too good 👍 I must try this ..stay connected sister
Did you try it dear
My go to channel when I’m not sure what to cook
Why did you bake it for 45 mins in oven when you can cook it for a shorter time on a stove for 15-20 minutes?
The oven will give you best results as far as texture and great flavor.
I tried but my rice is bit sticky don’t know why
Sorry about that, it’s probably because of the type of rice that you used. Different types of rice will need different boiling time. I use Afghan Baghlani rice.
