Heritage Festival 2012: Bolani

Afghanistan's Bolani is still my favourite non-meat dish at the Heritage Festival. If a green onion cake married a potato pancake, this would be the result. It's a chewy, flavourful adventure and the creamy dip is so refreshing.

Heritage Festival 2011 #6 - Bolani

Bolani was one of the first things I ate when I started attending the Heritage Festival some years back. It is from Afghanistan and is a crispy, pan-friend dough filled with mashed potatoes and green onions. The creamy cucumber dip adds a just the right coolness. The different tastes and textures, plus the ample size, makes this a Heritage Festival favourite.
