Afghanistan being inhabited for, at least the last 10,000 years is believed to be the first farming community in the world. Being a land-locked country, cooks rely on locally grown Basmati Rice (explained below), meats, freshwater fish, vegetables, dried peas, beans, fresh fruits, yogurt, noodles, rice, and a distinctive palette of mildly used seasonings relative to its neighbors.

Rice plays a very important part in Afghan cooking, and Afghans are very particular about the grain of rice they use. The best quality rice in Afghanistan is found in the south, particularly the province of Laghman. That is where one can find "Aahu Barah" rice meaning "The Deer's Valley". Aahu Barah rice is in the Basmati Rice family and is perhaps one of the finest quality of rice available. It is best described as a long grained and extremely aromatic rice as all true Basmati's.
