Qorma as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Qorma is absolutely in that category. The aromatic with cardamom and saffron quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. bolani stuffing herbs 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 Afghan restaurant abroad 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.
