Afghan food- Bolani
Bolani is one of my
favorite Afghan food appetizers. Bolani is made from two different ingredients
such as boiled potatoes, chopped onions, dough and vegetable oil for frying. My
mother usually makes it with green part of the leek or spinach because it’s
tastier and healthier that way. Bolani is served with fresh homemade yogurt,
homemade hot sauce, or Chutney sauce. Bolani is mostly served for special
guests and in special parties. Whenever my aunts come over, my mother cooks
this delicious meal for them. Middle Eastern people mostly serve this tasty food
during the fasting month of Ramadan. It makes a perfect meal during Ramadan
because Bolani is light and it doesn’t full someone quickly.

At first glance, I thought this dish looked like it could be related to the quesadilla. But after reading it's ingredients, it is actually quite different. The description of the bolani and the pictures made me want to go out and find a restaurant that serves it. I love the fact that it gets topped with homemade yogurt and hot sauce. My only question is do they ever make it with some type of meat, such as beef or lamb?
