Najo Kashk Round

Najo Kashk Round is a traditional Afghan and Persian dried dairy product made from the whey of strained yogurt, dried and shaped into firm round pieces with an intensely sharp, sour, and salty flavour that adds a unique umami depth to Afghan cooking. Kashk is dissolved in water and stirred into soups, Ash-e-Reshteh (Persian noodle soup), Borani (Afghan yogurt dishes), and used as a tangy drizzle over dishes like Kashk-e Bademjan (smoky eggplant with kashk). It is a deeply traditional ingredient in Afghan and Persian cuisine with no real Western equivalent, beloved by communities worldwide for its distinctive and authentic flavour.
