Translations:Kabuli pulao/3/en
Origin
Although referred to in English as "Kabuli" (see § Etymology), the dish did not originate in Kabul. More likely, the dish originated at the border of Northern Afghanistan with Uzbekistan. Additionally, longstanding communities of northern Afghans and Central Asian émigrés in Saudi Arabia have collectively referred to themselves as "Bukhari's" (despite not all being from Bukhara), and have marketed this dish in the region as "Bukhari rice".
