this is my absolute favorite dish at a local afghani restaurant. they make it with eggplant replacing the traditional lamb for me, but it's basically eggplant stewed in a spiced tomato sauce covered in a fragrant saffron rice with pistachios, orange rind, etc. sprinkled through it. it's so freakin good

I like to seek out Afgani food (like hunza apricots imported from there), to show some kind of solidarity with the ordinary Afgani people.

that dish really does soung good. where do you live? i have never been to any afghani restaurants.

[esoterikgardin]

afghani food is really good if it's prepared well. i'm in NJ, there's a few places around here to get it, and lots of opportunities in NY.

as for the homeland security biz, i beg of you...in this day and age of big brother-ism that's so not funny! i blame you if they cart me away tonight for trying to get a goddamn recipe! lol

I would love this recipe. It's one of the 2 or 3 vegan options available at the Afghani restaurant my in-laws like to take us to.

[esoterikgardin]

have you ever gone to pamir in morristown? so far that's the best afghani food i've ever tasted. :-9

[vgnwtch]

BINGO!!

(just perusing the archives...)

I was SO UPSET when the Manhattan location closed down...it was one of my favorite places. =(

It's probably a big pain in the butt to get to the Morristown place sans car. =(

[esoterikgardin]

i shall begin experimenting soon....

I found some results with various spellings

Narenj Palaow (contains some ingredients that are not translated to English...)

These two appear to be Indian, but the same basic dish:
Orange Pulao
Orange Pulao

[bobbymcr]

Those last 2 are the same recipe. :-[

[ammalouithe]

What are these?
saunf (sombu) - 1/2 tsp
curry patta - few
elaichi - 1

[bobbymcr]

saunf = anise
curry pata = curry leaves
elaichi = cardamom

[surlygrrrly]

That sounds freakin' delicious! I am going to try it. Vegan, of course...
