- ▶Ingredients
5 Cups of Long Grain Rice
Vegetable Oil
Water
Salt
1 teaspoon of Cumin
▶Recipe
1. First you must rinse your rice. After the bowl is filled with rice, add water to the brim of the bowl. Run your hands through the rice thoroughly and then strain the water out. You will notice it is very cloudy. Then, fill the rice bowl again with water and repeat these steps. You will do this until the water is almost clear. Then let the rice soak in the water for 30 minutes - 4 hours.
2. After it has soaked, add salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Salt generously. Once boiling, add the rice. Let the rice cook for 5-7 minutes.
3. After the rice has been cooked, drain the rice.
4. While the rice is draining you want to prepare two pots on your oven. (Pot A and Pot B). In Pot A, the pot you just dumped the rice out of, add 2 tablespoons of oil. You want to heat that pan until all the water has evaporated from when you cooked the rice.
5. In Pot B add 1/2 Cup of water, 1 Tablespoon of Oil, and 1 Teaspoon of Cumin seed. Head that mixture up.
6. Back to Pot A, add your drained rice. Now, pour the mixture from Pot B and pour over the top of Pot A of rice.
7. In your pot of rice, make holes in rice for steam to escape. (watch video)
8. Now, cover your pot with aluminum foil. Next, put the lid on it. Finally, add your towel. (watch the video)
9. Cook covered rice on stovetop, med-low heat, for 30 minutes.

The best recipes are always the ones designed by loving mothers and grandmothers who had to feed their families with simple, inexpensive ingredients, but loved them enough to become expert in preparing those ingredients deliciously❤
So true!
I love your clear and comprehensive instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, I just want to say how excited I am that you are on TH-cam. There are many amazing afghan cooks on TH-cam but I don't understand them that well. Thank you so much for being on TH-cam. So happy to subscribe to your channel and learn so much from you!!!!!Wishing much success on this platform 😘
Thank you so very very much! I had the same issue because I speak Pashto and most of the cooks on here speak Dari. So, I made this channel for myself lol.
This was really helpful thank you. Even though my mom has shown me how to make this a billion times and i never got it. I finally know how to make rice.

I cooked it and it tasted pretty good aside from it having almost no salt 😅
But good for the first time
Great job! The salt level is the hardest part to master. Once you get that, you will be officially Afghan 😎

❤ hello Miriam
Did you have any tips for cooking this rice is rice cooker?
Yummy
Thank you!
Love this technique, Mirriam! I'm going to try it out. Where would you say the most tricky timing is? The boiling or the steaming?
The boiling because you don’t want to overlook it. If it’s undercooked you may be able to steam it for longer to make sure it’s cooked. But if it’s over cooked it’s done.
Walaikumsalam...
I love my afghan food ❤️😊
Same
We go to Maiwand Kabob in Maryland and they have the best rice. It’s yellowish with few raisins and no meat. I think it’s your lamb shank rice without the lamb shank or maybe Biryani without meat. What do you think? Thanks!
I don't know it's probably just a yellow colored rice with raisins lolol sorry I am not much help. Does it come with the meal? I don't think it is qabuwli palow or biryani those are cooked differently.
Thank you Mariam jaan! I love your videos,. They are fun and your Pashto is very good indeed! I am an Afghan and have made this rice with powder cumin, but I know yours have more aroma with cumin seed. I will definitely buy some next time.
Fantastic let me know how it turns out I love hearing from people when they make my recipes.
Thank you so much! I love your videos. If I’m using half the amount of rice, should I also use half the amount of water and oil?
if u ever come to houston please visit me. would love to have you over❤
Wonderful!
Queen ❤️🌹
Thank you, Zaka.
@@AfghanCooks you're welcome for eternity Queen. ❤️🌹
Foil allows condensation which makes wet spots but that's Persian. Don't know enough to come after an Afgani cook! 😁(Much less another court officer.)
Is it 5-7 mins after it comes to a rolling boil or from the time that you put the rice in the boiling water?
The total time is 5-7 minutes. It shouldn’t take long for the water to come back to a boil - but make sure you check it after 5 total minutes because if you’ve let it soak for a long time it will get Al dente very quickly.
Salaam.
Leave it 30 mins in what temperature? Also you didn't mention the amount of Salt
How much salt???
Do you think "Challow" is cognate with Hindi "Pullao"?
Pullau is a different rice - same technique but with spices/brown color
@@AfghanCooks I just made something similar to pullao for 15 happy hikers. One difference with yours is that I fry the rice with whole spices before adding the cooking water. I do like the soak/boil with excess water method here for the fluffiest basmati rice. I hadn't thought of adding the cumin, tho.
@@brianbuch1 This isn't pullao, this is challow which is just white rice. Do you mean you fry the rice before you parboil or do you not parboil at all?
@@AfghanCooks In this recipe (From Madhur Jaffrey) you don't parboil the rice at all. Once it's been sautéd with the spices, you pretty much cook it as on packaged rice cooking directions. [Add water, bring to boil, cover and cook at low heat for ~20 mins until all the water is absorbed]
@@brianbuch1 That is how we make a lot of pallao especially with meat - we cook the meat and then the rice is cooked in the meat liquid directly. It is a great way to get so much flavor in the rice. and she is the queen.
