I am interested in Vegetarian dishes, because I live in an area where I can not get Halal meat. I especially like to make sweets, and am always looking for new recipes.

Vegetables are not for me! no meat, no point eating it lol. I have some good desert recipes which I'll share as the days pass.

I actually hate chocolate except the dark or white chocolates those are the best!

Our Ugra has no aash or rice in it, it usually has 7 different kinds of lentils and at the end it's topped off with a little bit of fried onions and oil.

White chocolate is like heaven chocolate with nuts are also next to heaven. Dark chocolate not really for me...i dont like caramel either, only if its caramel apples

No no ... not daal at all ... although I can see how you got that idea .. hmm maybe I am missing something, haven't had it in forever... I'll find out though lol.

Ugra is the name we give to 'mushy' white rice. .

In Swat as well!

[Da_Kunar_Ghro]

We Kandaharis cook Ugrah very differently. Its thick and its not a soup.

Maybe Iqra or Mayana can understand?

Taso kandahari yast? I love your anaar lol

[abubaker]

We call that sticky rice "Kechri" or "Shola". Aash is similar but its mainly made with vegetables in a tomato sauce. Uzbek people also call it "Laghman".

shola and ugra are both different dishes

ugra is white mushy rice served with yoghurt or ''kaldo''.. trust iam from laghman and i know what ugra is

shola as you said is sticky rice

BTW the one you have posted is an Uzbek dish not Afghan. its also called "Un oshi" in uzbeki.

Exactly! that's what I am talking about ... apparently it's like 6 diff things ... 2 kinds of maash and lubya, and nakhod ...and it's topped off by onions and oil and masteh / qurut.

Ughra looks different.

In Kandahar during khairat females are required to ok ooghra to ditribute. Its sort of like 'Pahtaay' but more tasty.

Yeah it is usually made for khairaat =)
