Pairing Shor Nakhod correctly — a note on qymaq cream tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Shor Nakhod. I ordered it with qymaq cream tea and the subtly sweet from dried fruit elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. bolani stuffing herbs in particular became more prominent in a good way.

kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. The an Afghan restaurant abroad is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Shor Nakhod with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
