From Teapot Served The Ultimate Comfort Food of Afghanistan In Balkh 🇦🇫

For centuries, "chainaki" has been the ultimate comfort food for Afghans during harsh winters and, in recent decades, a culinary escape to simpler, happier times amid violence.
There is a specific method to having the "chainaki", a wholesome meat soup made in a teapot, called “chainak” in the Afghan language of Dari.
First, you take the giant naan that comes with every serving and break it into tiny pieces; fill your bowl with as many as you like. Then, you open your teapot filled with a deep red-orange lamb soup made with tomatoes, onions, fat, and spices, cooked over a slow fire, and pour it over the bread.
Would you try this?
0:00 - Local lunch with the kids in Balkh
20:51 - Taliban-controlled Haji Piyada Mosque

As a Westerner, this is definitely one of the more eye-opening videos I've seen on Afghanistan. We hear so many negative things about the country in the media, thank you for helping to think about Afghanistan in a more reasoned and informed manner. After all the hardship and turmoil over the past decades, It does look like the nation is trying to turn the corner toward a more peaceful and prosperous future. I wish the Afghan people all the best in their future endeavors.
