	'''Kabuli pulao''' or '''pulaw''' is a variety of [[pilaf]] made in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Uzbekistan]]. It is known in Afghanistan as '''Qābilī palaw''' ({{langx\|prs\|قابلی پلو}}, {{IPA\|prs\|/qɑːbɪliː paˈlaw/\|pron}}), and in Uzbekistan as '''Osh palov''', with neither country referring to it by the name of a city. While in English, it tends to be known by the name [[Kabul\|Kabuli]] (see below) and in [[Saudi Arabia]], by the name '''Bukhari rice''' or '''ruzz Bukhārī''' ({{langx\|ar\|رز بخاري}}), after the city of [[Bukhara]].

	A variation of Qabili made by Uzbeks within Afghanistan is also referred to as "Uzbeki palaw". The Uzbeki version differs from traditional Afghan palaw preparation in that it doesn't steam the rice (''sof'' method), but instead boils the rice until all liquid has been absorbed (''dampokht'' method). Palaw dishes form a specific and longstanding tradition of rice preparation in the region, likely dating back as far as [[Bactria]]n times.

'''Kabuli pulao''' or '''pulaw''' is a variety of [[pilaf]] made in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Uzbekistan]]. It is known in Afghanistan as '''Qābilī palaw''' ({{langx|prs|قابلی پلو}}, {{IPA|prs|/qɑːbɪliː paˈlaw/|pron}}), and in Uzbekistan as '''Osh palov''', with neither country referring to it by the name of a city. While in English, it tends to be known by the name [[Kabul|Kabuli]] (see below) and in [[Saudi Arabia]], by the name '''Bukhari rice''' or '''ruzz Bukhārī''' ({{langx|ar|رز بخاري}}), after the city of [[Bukhara]].
