Afghanistan: Kofta Challow

I started my journey in Afghanistan where I made Kofta Challow which is a dish of meatballs with rice. (CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE I USED)

Kofta Challow has an oniony tomato-y sauce and onions, cumin, and cilantro power the flavors throughout this dish so, if you have the gene variation that makes cilantro taste like soap, you probably want to skip this.

It wasn't difficult to make, just a little messy, but it was definitely worth the mess, it was absolutely delicious! It was was packed full with flavor! It was so so good!

I ate it with basmati rice, which is my favorite variety of rice, and it worked perfectly with the Kofta Challow.

UPDATE: 3/21/23:

I have made this several times since creating this blog. It's one of my favorite of all the meals I've tried, thus far. I make it with ground turkey now, trying to be a little healthier these days, and it works really well!
