Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a time of fasting, reflection, and community for Muslims around the world. In Afghanistan, this day is celebrated with unique customs and sumptuous dishes that bring families together. One such beloved dish is Bolani, a traditional stuffed flatbread that has been a staple of Afghan Eid celebrations for generations.

Bolani is a versatile and delectable snack, made by stuffing thin sheets of dough with a variety of fillings such as leeks, chives, spinach, potatoes, or lentils. Served with yogurt or chutney, it's not just food; it's a celebration of Afghan culture and the joyous spirit of Eid.
