Chalaw | چلو

Chalaw (چلو) is traditional Afghan white basmati rice, delicately seasoned and steamed until light and fluffy. Afghan Hawasana offers this simple rice dish as an accompaniment to stews, meatballs and kabobs.

Ingredients and preparation

The long-grain basmati rice is soaked and parboiled before its final steaming. This preparation keeps the rice light and tender, with a mild flavor that complements richer main dishes.

Serving suggestions

Order Chalaw separately alongside Chicken Qurma or Kofta. The rice complements their savory tomato and onion gravies.
