How authentic was this food? I would love to hear an Afghan's take on it. Also, leave a Namaste Ji for little Hamna! She is a big fan of Afghan cuisine 😍
About spices, ancient Indians were driven by locally available spices and very particular about which spices to be consumed during a specific season. Its ayurveda to keep your health optimum. Now people are only driven by specific dish at any given point of time and absolutely no regulation at all on weather, location nor availability.
Afghani stan is an ancient name given by Sanskrit and Avestan aka Old Persian people which means Ashwa Gana Stan or the land of roaming hordes of horses. Ashwa in skt is horse which is asp in OP gana is horde like Ganapati god who us the chief of a specific hoarde, stan is an area.
I don't know much about Afghan culture but, I think generally speaking the quality of food should be good but, you also need a lot of seasoning since why not add flavour and make it more enjoyable?
I am an Afghan who lives in London! Let me know when you are coming so I will introduce you to my Mom and some friends who are passionate about food. I am a lawyer in England but love cooking. So my wife is lucky. Having said that I am an Afghan with an Indian soul. Zindabad Afghanistan and Jai Hind. I love all of your programs/films or documentaries - whatever you call them. Respect from an Afghan.
I’m not Afghan and I can’t speak to the authenticity, but it looks great. I love my local Afghan restaurant in California. I’ve had Afghan food while in India and it was fantastic. I love the general flavor profile in middle eastern cuisine and I have noticed that Indian food is much spicier. I like both!
The first time I tried Afghan food it was a special feeling. To celebrate the end of a course, my pupils and I decided to eat in a room of the Red Cross in Austria. We paid some refugees to cook traditional dishes instead of going to a restaurant. We got specialties from Tunisia, Nigeria, Chechenia and Afghanistan. I remember the Afghan refugee fondly. The rice he cooked was outstanding. I remember he used raisins, chickpeas and white onion. He teared up when he saw how much we appreciated his food. Some years later I had the pleasure to meet a young Afghan family with 5 children. The mom was only 27 years old. She showed me what she had cooked for some relatives. The kitchen and the table were full of different yummy dishes. She let me try some of them. Her kids were adorable.
The one thing I saw you bypassed in your restaurant experience is Afghani naan. It is unlike any naan I have experienced in Pakistan or India (having travelled widely in both countries). Many mornings while in Afghanistan a nice fresh Afghani naan and tea made a great start for a day. It is a staple for the common man in Afghanistan because it is filling and cheap.
As an Indian, I wish to visit Afghanistan so bad. The culture seems spectacular, and I really want to try the food. May just have to go for it and stop procrastinating.
It is easy and very safe to go to Afghanistan now. You can go to any city, province with no safety issues. Make sure you get your visa and connect with the government there to assure you with safety.
I miss the food from Afghanistan, I was deployed 2005 2007, my job had us building schools, hospitals and roads... all required meals and meetings ... I ate like a king and the hospitality was unmatched anywhere else in my life. I was lower enlisted and no one special... but the people where warm and caring despite the hard situation that still exists.
Afghani food is similar to Iranian food. Lightly spiced with cardamom and cinnamon etc and they use fruit in their savoury dishes - preserved lemons, dried or fresh apricots, dates and raisins or currants. I love the breads and flavoured rice of both cultures.
Yea that looks pretty much authentic to what my mom would cook. Being an Afghan myself I wouldn't travel to Afghanistan right now with Taliban's presence. I was 40 days old newborn baby when we moved out of Afghanistan due to the war, but I have been back home 3 times since I got 18 and every time I didn't wanted to return ❤️🇦🇫🇦🇫 Btw I love your videos and namaste to your wife🇮🇳🇳🇿
@@Nalin_420-69 I migrated from there 😢. I hope one day I go there back and enjoy foods and beautiful weather. I miss everything badly specialy those beautiful mountine in Afg.
I remember my first time trying Afghan food back in 2017, i swore by it as one of the best cuisines i've ever had. Everyone around me thought i was crazy that i'd branch out from the local meat pies and sausage sangas. However, in 2022 I'm glad that Afghan food is now more noticed and consumed by people around the world. It truly is a beautiful cuisine and a very hospitable people who have had to overcome the shadow of war.
Good Morning NZ! You guys are 17 hours ahead of Chicago and I'm sure much, much warmer than it is here. I enjoyed seeing you two trying all those Afghan dishes. Will have to give it a go sometime! Karl, not only are you the coolest Indophile I know, but you also make trying all those mouthwatering dishes from India, etc. such a pleasant experience. You are a true foodie! I hope Manisha is enjoying herself. I was wondering if she is going to get to know the South Island, Christchurc? I know that it's a ways away, but it too is beautiful. Have a great weekend!
The regional differences are crazy! I'm persian but we love afghani food because its very similar to our cuisine but has like a twist of mongolian and indian influences.
Keep staying honest to good values Karl. Selling out is lying to yourself, omnipotent reflecting upon your and everyone else's experiences leads to enlightenment - immersing one's self to other cultures is just one aspect to that. To me you are very enlightened, Karl.
As an Afghan living outside of Afghanistan and as an big time fan I really appreciate that you tried our Afghan cuisine 🫶 and especial thanks for telling the reality of those UA-camrs whom visiting Afghanistan indirectly supported by ta***n and speaking in their favour.
I think it's really unfair of you to think of those UA-camrs as Taliban sympathizers; they were perhaps trying to show the world your beautiful country and its people. The reason the Taliban are at the helm of your country is the way you guys gave up on your country, take some responsibility, please. If you just stayed back n fought, your country would still be in good hands.
@@qurratulainzehra8760 I used to live in that country my friends live in that country I know what’s going on in Afghanistan but how those UA-camrs show it’s not true and every Afghan knows this
Afghan food fills you up, and you must drink green tea (after the meal) which makes you relax and fall asleep. That bolani you showed is like eating a slice of plain pizza. Afghans in western countries also add bits of broccoli and mozzarella cheese to it (instead of yogurt), especially in colder weather.
Your food experimentation makes me want to explore other ethnic foods more than I have. The happy baby was so sweet. It's how all children deserve to be, just happy and loved.
The Bolani looks so delicious and your description of it sounds wonderful. It was fun to see you sing and clap with the baby - she seemed to enjoy that. Manu looks wonderful; love the way she has her gorgeous hair.
I need to try Afghan dishes immediately! Your channel really blows the doors wide open to the West on showing all these wonderful people and their cultures. Giving real insight, from the field to the camera. This is very much needed in these troubling times. Thank you brother, God be with you and God bless you🙏.
Hi Karl, love your videos. I want to travel to India someday, it’s been on my bucket list for a long time. I have been to New Zealand a couple of times, I love it there also! Such a beautiful country. Say hello to your wife I also love her videos. I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!
There used to be a restaurant here in Chicago called HELMUND owned by the Karzai family. Run by Ahmed Wali Karzai specifically. He is former Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai's brother. So, I would consider it authentic. I used to eat there fairly often. Karl, you repeatedly compared the cuisine to Pakistani and Indian saying it was not as spicy as those. What you neglected to take into consideration was the influence from the other side of Afghanistan - the Persian side. It's less spicy than Indian but more aromatic yet still with a complex palette of spices. When I ate at the HELMUND, it was the Persian influence that constantly came to my mind. There are great Persian restaurants here notably REZA'S.
I am a Yousaf Zai from Pakistan but as we live in Karachi we aren't authentic anymore and follow the mixed culture followed by the other people in Karachi. The only thing that has remained Afghan in me are my looks, facial structure, and name. And, I am always attracted to traditional cuisine. Love your content!
Are you aware that you and alot of Pathans with that tribal family name is a candidate for being a Jew? Pathans are sopposedly candidates for being of the the lost tribes of Israel.... There's a book by a professor avigdor shachan....
Hey man I am an afghan tour guide and tutor of Afghanistan cultures , language and I can help with the food recipes too .if you are interested we can be friends
I have spent time in Afghanistan over the years, prior to the resurgence of the current regime. I enjoyed working with Afghans, all of whom loved to share their food and their culture. My favorite Kabuli Pulau had cashews in it, along with the raisins and carrots. It was not spicy, so I used to eat it with a dark green, very spicy, chili sauce from Pakistan. Also I love Afghan naan, and I have not been able to find comparable naan from anywhere else. Such a simple food, but the naan in Afghanistan was a meal in itself some days. Great video, I'm really enjoying the views of NZ.
I feel very delighted to watch this video.the long wars had many negative effects on the authentic culture of we Afghan people.I hope one day away from wars & insecurity in Afghanistan, You will be able to record such video in Afghanistan itself. You have tried Bolani,Manto and Kabuli Palaw I recomend You to take a try these Afghani dishes: Tandori kabab Tikka kabab which is my Favourite 😋 Aashak (which is very similar to Manto) but its for vegans 😆 kechiri Quroot Shola Ghorbandi Haft Mewa which is a mixture of dried fruits and nuts traditionally prepared for Nowruz (new year in solunar calendar) And also don’t forget Kandahari Anar probably the best pomegranate in the world. U are the Best Karl,lots of love for New Zealand & India as well ❤
You've got to try the bolani with yogurt sauce. It's next level when dipped especially with cilantro chatney. I also recommend trying Aush, it's a soup and it's amazing. Favorite soup of all time. Some other favorite dishes of mine are, Chapli kabob, bonjon borani, katchalu, and sabzi. All are delicious and worth a try, but my all time favorite Afghan dish is Shola. My dad makes it every time I come home to visit. I am blessed to be half Afghan and grew up eating the most delicious food thanks to my dad.
It's really nice to see you trying Afghani food, I hope you enjoyed it. There are much more delicious and tastier cuisines in our culture and I should say that the taste of food is superb when you try it inside Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is consist of Many Tribes not only Pathans and as far as food goes I don't know how was your experience but iam sure whenever you come to Afghanistan you will definitely taste the real and natural foods such as Kabli pulaov , Mantu , Ashak which is quite similar to Mantu and not only that would be nice to visit different parts of the country As I said before i don't know how was your experience of having Afghan Food but for me I like the background Music of the Video ..
Bro, that food looked flippin' awesome! Beats the pulp out of typical American food imo & you got to play with the baby lol, I'd call it a good day : )
Hey Karl. Good to finally meet you in person ( Sylvia Park) today by the Xmas trees where you were taking some photos. I've been following your videos for a long time. I wish you safe travels. Nai Chaiye Ji. ! !
I went to a Middle Eastern Association meeting here in New York. I had Afghan food and went back for seconds and thirds. It was the same as something I would get here in an Indian restaurant.
I would absolutely try all of that food! I would have to be careful of the dairy or things could get ugly really fast!😳 You have inspired me to learn Hindi, Karl! But I’m learning at a much slower pace, 😊
Oh my god I live in Palmerston North! No way in the world I'll think you'll come visit this small city! Hope you enjoyed your stay here! Wish I could've met you!
Dear Karl. It is Afghan not Afghani. Afghani is our currency. Do visit Afghanistan, I am an Afghan living in Germany, but I came here three weeks ago for a documentary project. It is a beautiful place the Taliban are friendly to foreigners and I think with a great personality that you have, you will be welcomed in Afghanistan. Do let me know if you need any help or guidance.
I am from the UK and have tried many Afghan restaurants. Surprised you did not order Chapli Kebab. Best kebab on earth IMO. Another kebab that is popular in Afghan cuisine is Choopan Kebab. Love your videos and keep up the good work.
Sure, it is. I am from Pakistan and we have a wide variety of kebabs here. Still, nothing comes close to chapli kebab which originates from Peshawar (the capital of northern Pakistan, and yeah, northern Pakistan has things in common with Afghanistan)
This is a very nice video Karl, nice to see you and your wife together with friends, interesting feature on Afghan food, looks good, thanks for the update. :)
Bolani, the Afghani version of the Paratha, a bread filled with potato? I love potatoes,would definitely try this and probably liking it just like Manu Ji and you Karl. Also liked seeing how your Afghani friend scooped some food up with a piece of the Bolani, like us here eating our food with pieces of corn tortilla. 😋 From the images shown of the countryside surrounding Palmerston, NZ's definitely a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing Karl Ji, 👍and greetings 👋for Manu Ji and you.
Inshahallah You Will be in Afghanistan. You will be enjoy in Afghanistan which are not enjoy all over the wold. Newszealand people are favorite in Pakistan and Afghanistan due to Great Cricketer team, they are very lovely Cricketer.
Afhanistan..Muslim neighbouring Country..Many Afghanis refugees moving to Nz...We also Had Afghani food In Auckland...Good to see Karl in taking Intrst in Afghani food..o cooked Afghani Pulao at home with lamb meat..Live to meet u With your wife..Soon
Great food afghan darbar got , have tried myself out there last year. Karl if you are around manawatu for more days try out small town of whanganui. Old heritage town. With lots of history. There they have got flying school (nzicpa) at airport. School specially caring for indian student pilots with 75+ right now there. Do a scenic flight around there in cesnna.. good content for channel.
I went to an UWC college and had the chance to try authentic foods from many cultures. One thing I got to realise is how geography and climate affects the type of food people eat. For example Afghanistan has colder climate and less vegetation so storing food didn't require lots of spices to be rubbed on food, thus a less spicy food when compared to india. The same Palau in India or Pakistan has the essence of Afghanistan with the additional warm spices of India.
How authentic was this food? I would love to hear an Afghan's take on it. Also, leave a Namaste Ji for little Hamna! She is a big fan of Afghan cuisine 😍
The smile and laugh of a child is medicine.

Aashak (which is very similar to Manto) but its for vegans 😆

Shola Ghorbandi
Haft Mewa which is a mixture of dried fruits and nuts traditionally prepared for Nowruz (new year in solunar calendar)
And also don’t forget Kandahari Anar probably the best pomegranate in the world.

It is a beautiful place the Taliban are friendly to foreigners and I think with a great personality that you have, you will be welcomed in Afghanistan. Do let me know if you need any help or guidance.
Hey man!!!
Bless you my friend Karl safe travels
I am from the UK and have tried many Afghan restaurants. Surprised you did not order Chapli Kebab. Best kebab on earth IMO. Another kebab that is popular in Afghan cuisine is Choopan Kebab. Love your videos and keep up the good work.
Sure, it is. I am from Pakistan and we have a wide variety of kebabs here. Still, nothing comes close to chapli kebab which originates from Peshawar (the capital of northern Pakistan, and yeah, northern Pakistan has things in common with Afghanistan)
Yahoo another food video love these omg kids are so adorable and well behave too the food does look yummy thanks to you all thanks so much Karl..
Just realised I have a Afghan restuarant nearby my home. Would definitely try Bolani as I am vegetarian
The theme song got me 😊❤️🇦🇫
love u from afghanistan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you ❤️
I am from Aligarh good to see you
I’m looking forward to visiting Aligarh
I’ve always wanted to go to Afghanistan, their food looks great
My favourite is chupan kabab and Afghani polao.
Mantu is my favourite out of all of them, the problem is that it doesn't fill you up unless you have like 50 of them 🤣. Enjoy the Afghan food brutha
His daughter is so ADORABLE. It makes me curious though, when are we going to see a baby Rock???
If you visit Kabul try Molong palaw or Tekka Kabab these two are the best Afghanistan food
The food looks really tasty, and I would try it since it is not too spicy. I do like sweet rice pudding. Bolani look good.
This is a very nice video Karl, nice to see you and your wife together with friends, interesting feature on Afghan food, looks good, thanks for the update. :)
Bolani, the Afghani version of the Paratha, a bread filled with potato? I love potatoes,would definitely try this and probably liking it just like Manu Ji and you Karl. Also liked seeing how your Afghani friend scooped some food up with a piece of the Bolani, like us here eating our food with pieces of corn tortilla. 😋 From the images shown of the countryside surrounding Palmerston, NZ's definitely a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing Karl Ji, 👍and greetings 👋for Manu Ji and you.

1 st like n comment karl bro love from Delhi
Thank you :) for visiting Afghan restaurant. Love Afghan fan
I lived in Kabul in the 70s as a teenager.I liked ashak and pilau and goat kabobs!
Nice video Karl I am from London
I went to an UWC college and had the chance to try authentic foods from many cultures. One thing I got to realise is how geography and climate affects the type of food people eat. For example Afghanistan has colder climate and less vegetation so storing food didn't require lots of spices to be rubbed on food, thus a less spicy food when compared to india. The same Palau in India or Pakistan has the essence of Afghanistan with the additional warm spices of India.
Love your videos' Karl. Keep it up
