Keema macaroni: is a delightful dish that blends the comforting familiarity of pasta with the vibrant spices and textures of Afghan cuisine. Imagine tender seashell (#Conchiglie) macaroni bathed in a rich, savory meat sauce laced with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. A dollop of creamy garlic yogurt adds a touch of coolness and tang, while a sprinkle of fresh herbs like mint and cilantro bursts with flavor in every bite.
