Why Lawand deserves more attention

Lawand rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The aromatic with cardamom and saffron complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using cardamom correctly takes real skill.

Afghan hospitality tradition demands feeding guests regardless of the host's circumstances. I encountered it first in a teahouse on the Silk Road route and that context helped me understand it properly. fresh pomegranate juice is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Lawand is the dish to start with.
