With Eid just days away, I had to share one of my favorite additions to my menu this year. Given we are celebrating in the peak of summer at the end of July, I had to pay homage to an American classic (of course with my Afghan fusion twist). Thus came about the Chai S’more– a delectable pink marshmallow, white chocolate, and crushed pistachios smushed between tea biscuits, drizzled with more white chocolate and a heaping of crushed pistachios on top. These elevated Afghan fusion s’mores are such a delight. They carry the essential flavor profile of a s’more merged with core flavors from Afghan cuisine. I recommend serving it with my Afghan Dalgona Sheer Chai (recipe coming soon!).
