Qabeli palaw (Dari: قابلی پلو, pronounced [qäːbeliː päˈläw], often wrongly transcribed as Kabuli pulao, Pashto: قابلی پلاو) is a variety of pilaf made in Afghanistan.
The core ingredients are steamed rice mixed with caramelized carrots and raisins as well as marinated meat. Qabeli palaw is commonly garnished with almonds and pistachios. Saffron may be added to either the rice, the sauce or the garnishes. Varieties of Qabeli palaw have spread from Afghanistan to different parts of Western and Central Asia and Pakistan.
