What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was mesmerized by the technical skill required to layer the national dish, particularly the use of sesame oil sourced from Northern Afghanistan. He was most impressed by the lamb's butter-like texture, which fell effortlessly off the bone and paired perfectly with the sweet carrots and raisins. Mark concluded that the complex, aromatic flavors of the Uzbek-style pulao made it a true 'crown of the table' experience in Kabul.
