Afghan Sweet Bread (Rot Afghani)-Afghan Breakfast
Afghans truly love their bread. It is a basic part of almost every meal and is always found on the dining table. Bread is often torn into pieces and used to scoop up curries. Believe it or not, some people even enjoy eating it with rice.
Afghan Sweet Bread, also called Rot Afghani, is a favorite for many. It can be served after meals, at breakfast, or anytime you want something sweet. What makes this bread special is the topping of black caraway seeds and poppy seeds, which add extra flavor. A fork is used to make small patterns on top, giving the bread its traditional and beautiful look.

Paneer (homemade cheese)-Afghan Breakfast
Here, we’ll show you a simple and easy way to make fresh cheese at home. In Afghanistan, this cheese is often served with raisins and is called Kishmish Paneer. Kishmish means raisins and paneer means cheese.
Homemade cheese has a soft, chewy texture similar to mozzarella. This fresh and tasty recipe only requires three ingredients: milk, table cream, and vinegar. You will also need a cheesecloth to drain the milk, which you can easily find at most stores or online.

Khajur Recipe(Afghani Khajoor)
The Khajur recipe, also known as Afghani Khajoor, is one of the most well-loved pastries in Afghanistan. A key ingredient in this recipe is cardamom, which gives it a lovely aroma and flavor.
When mixing the dough, it is best not to add all the all-purpose flour at once. Slowly add it in until the dough becomes soft and easy to handle. While kneading, your hands may get sticky. This is normal, and wetting your hands with a little water can help.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth to keep it warm. This helps it rise faster. Once the dough is ready, shape the Khajur into its classic design. Then deep-fry the pieces in hot oil until they are golden brown.

Sheer chai afghan (Cardamom Tea with milk)
Tea is an important part of daily life in Afghanistan. It is enjoyed throughout the day and served on all kinds of occasions. Tea also plays a key role in Afghan hospitality. Guests are always welcomed with a cup of tea to make them feel at home.
Sheer Chai, which means “tea with milk” in Persian or Farsi, is a popular Afghan drink. It originally comes from Kashmir, where it is known as Kashmiri Chai. Traditional Kashmiri chai is made using special tea leaves that are only found in Kashmir. However, for Afghan Sheer Chai, you can use any black or green tea leaves instead.
To prepare it, bring water to a boil, add the tea leaves, and let it simmer with milk until it develops a rich color. The tea is then flavored with cardamom, which adds a warm and pleasant aroma.
Cardamom is also known for its health benefits. It has antibacterial and healing properties. To use it in tea, remove the seeds from the pods and gently crush them, or grind the seeds using a spice or coffee grinder. This step boosts both the flavor and the health benefits of your tea.
