Borani kadoo

The main ingredients in this Afghan dish are chunks of pumpkin or squash that are slowly braised in a flavorful combination of onions, garlic, coriander, ginger, turmeric, chili peppers, and tomatoes. Borani kadoo can be enjoyed as the main course or a side dish.

It is typically served garnished with garlic-spiked yogurt and naan bread on the side. The meal is usually consumed by scooping a mouthful with Afghan flatbreads, or it can be poured over white rice called challow.
