Chicken dishes are usually found in restaurants and at outdoor street vendor stalls. Unlike in the Indian cooking style, chicken in Afghan cuisine is often used with the intention that it be <i><a href="/wiki/Halal" title="Halal">halal</a></i>. Cream, butter, and curd are customary ingredients in all chicken recipes, whether served as an appetizer or a main course. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Quroot">Quroot</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Afghan_cuisine&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Quroot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>Quroot</b> (or <b>qoroot</b>) is a reconstituted dairy product, traditionally a by-product of butter made from sheep's or goat's milk. The residual <a href="/wiki/Buttermilk" title="Buttermilk">buttermilk</a> remaining after churning butter is soured further (by keeping it at room temperature for a few days), treated with salt, and then eventually boiled. The precipitated casein is filtered through <a href="/wiki/Cheesecloth" title="Cheesecloth">cheesecloth</a>, pressed in order to remove liquid, and then shaped into balls; the product is thus a hard and very sour cottage cheese. Though it can be eaten raw as a savory snack, it is typically served with cooked Afghan dishes such as <i>aushak</i>, <i>mantu</i>, and <i>kichri qoroot</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Miscellaneous">Miscellaneous</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Afghan_cuisine&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Miscellaneous"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Prose plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-style ambox-Prose" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/40px-Edit-clear.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/60px-Edit-clear.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/80px-Edit-clear.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="48" data-file-height="48" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>is in <a href="/wiki/MOS:LIST" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:LIST">list</a> format but may read better as <a href="/wiki/MOS:PROSE" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:PROSE">prose</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> You can help by <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Afghan_cuisine&action=edit">converting this section</a>, if appropriate. <a href="/wiki/Help:Editing" title="Help:Editing">Editing help</a> is available.</span> <span class="date-container"><i>(<span class="date">February 2022</span>)</i></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Afghan_food.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Afghan_food.jpg/220px-Afghan_food.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Afghan_food.jpg/330px-Afghan_food.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Afghan_food.jpg/440px-Afghan_food.jpg 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption>A table setting of Afghan food in Kabul</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg/220px-Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg/330px-Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg/440px-Bonjon_or_Bonjorn.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="1944" /></a><figcaption>Badenjan (<a href="/wiki/Eggplant" title="Eggplant">eggplant</a>) is usually served for lunch as a light meal or as a <a href="/wiki/Side_dish" title="Side dish">side dish</a>.
