There are not many Afghani snacks in the cuisine of Afghanistan. Some of them are traditional, whereas the others have been greatly influenced by other continental cuisines. The Afghani snacks usually contain nuts, dried fruits, pistachio, traditional sweetened milk and Khati cookies. Some of the most popular Afghani snacks are the Kebab rolls.
