Bolani

Bolani (Dari: بولانی), also called Periki (Pashto: پارکی) is a stuffed flat-bread from Afghanistan,[1] fried with a filling.

[2] It has a thin crust and can be stuffed with a variety of ingredients, such as potatoes or leeks but also grated pumpkin, chives, red lentils or with minced meat.

The method of using eggroll wrappers instead of making the dough for the bolani is a time saving convenience often used in Western countries.

While Bolani was originally baked to cut back on fat, it is now becoming popular due to the unique flavor it imparts.

Some argue that baked Bolani is not traditional due to its thick nature and meat stuffed variations.
