Mulong Palaw

Mulong Palaw (ملنگ پلو) is a traditional Afghan rice dish made with fish (Mulong) and aromatic basmati rice. The fish is marinated with spices, fried or grilled, and then served over fragrant rice cooked with onions, garlic, and a blend of spices like cumin, cardamom, and turmeric. Often garnished with fried onions, raisins, and nuts, this flavorful dish is served with salad, yogurt, or pickled vegetables (Turshi), making it a popular choice for special occasions and gatherings.
