| Afghani Bolani/ Boulanee e Katchaloo |
Today on
join me in Blogging Marathon " Around the World in 30 days"!
When I checked the net for my
entries to the blogging marathon around the world the first place I checked was
Afghanistan and I kept checking if I am looking at Afghani cuisine. The reason being the Indian spices used stood
out. Yet the food was distinctly different.
Later, much later it struck
me, in fact Aparna mentioned so I realised that Afghanistan being located on the historically important trade route
called the Silk Route/ Silk Road meant that Afghani cuisine is influenced by the
trading communities on the route. So the Afghani cuisine has the influences of
Iran, Pakistan, India, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and China.
I was requested street food
at home so I am generally blogging street food, generally because occasionally I
have been side-tracked by some delicious recipes that are not street food that
have beckoned me!
So let’s begin with Afganisthan!!
