Bolani is an flat bread usually stuffed with potatoes and chives and then they are fried in oil. People who love aloo stuffed paratha will like it a lot like I did. Parathas are always hit at my home and when I made this bolani H was very excited to try it as it was stuffed with potato and the name its itself sounded Interesting to him.This is an other bread I tried for the afghani meal platter. Just enjoyed it to the core with Qorma-e-lubia. This is super easy to make like parathas but with all purpose flour and these are stuffed in much easier way so that the filling doesn’t out. There are different varieties of stuffing you can stuff with like spinach, letils , pumpkins , leeks etc.. This dish strictly originates fro Afghan and it can be served as a main dish or appetizer. Lets move on the recipe of this afghani bolani..
