Bolani as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Bolani is absolutely in that category. The subtly sweet from dried fruit quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. cardamom does work that no substitute can replicate.

kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. There's something about the an Eid celebration feast context that reinforces the comfort effect. doogh alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
