Zerishk Chalaw | زرشک چلو

Zerishk Chalaw (زرشک چلو), also described on our menu as Zerishk Palaw, is basmati rice with saffron and tart barberries. It is served with slow-cooked halal meat at Afghan Hawasana.

Ingredients and preparation

Long-grain basmati rice is steamed with saffron and topped with barberries, known as zerishk. Their tart flavor contrasts with the fragrant rice and the savory meat, which is seasoned with Afghan spices.

Serving suggestions

Add Greek Salad as a separate side. For a different rice dish, explore Qabuli Palaw, which features carrots and raisins instead of barberries.
