Originating in Afghanistan, what type of food is bolani?

Bolani or Perakai is a flatbread from Afghanistan, baked or fried with a vegetable filling. It has a thin crust and can be stuffed with a variety of ingredients, such as potatoes, lentils, pumpkin, chives, or leeks. It can be served with plain yogurt or mint yogurt. Perakai is made for special occasions like birthday parties, engagement parties or holidays.

In America, the Perakai "Bolani" is the quintessential food item at any Kabob House. The variations are endless. Toppings typically include chives, potato, lentils, leeks and other vegetables. However, it is not limited to traditional toppings; items such as falafel, gyro meat, carne asada and bacon are all fair game. While white flour is common, many enthusiasts prefer whole wheat or rye.
