Afghan cuisine
 | This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Too many bullet points like a list, instead of sentences and paragraphs. Also needs better organization between 'Staple foods', 'Drinks' etc. Needs more encyclopedic content instead of current catalog-like format. (November 2021) |

Afghan cuisine is influenced by Persian, Central Asian, and South Asian (primarily Indian) cuisines due to Afghanistan's close proximity and cultural ties.[1][2] The cuisine is halal and mainly based on mutton, beef, poultry and fish with rice and Afghan bread. Accompanying these are common vegetables and dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, whey,[3] and fresh and dried fruits such as apples, apricots, grapes, bananas, oranges, plums, pomegranates, sweet melons, and raisins.[4] The diet of most Afghans revolves around rice-based dishes, while various forms of naan are consumed with most meals.[5] Tea is generally consumed daily in large quantities, and is a major part of hospitality.[6] The culinary specialties reflect the nation's ethnic and geographic diversity. The national dish of Afghanistan is Kabuli palaw, a rice dish cooked with raisins, carrots, nuts, and lamb or beef.[7]
