Home cooking attempt — Kabuli Pulao from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Kabuli Pulao from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting cardamom right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The fragrant and warming result was rewarding once I got it right.

kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. I served it with fresh pomegranate juice as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Kabuli Pulao yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
