ʻO ka meaʻai Tajik kahi hui o nā mana like ʻole, me ka Persian, Lūkia, a me Kina, e hoʻokaʻawale i kāna ʻano ʻono. ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona e hoʻokaʻawale i ka meaʻai Tajik, ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻala like ʻole, e lilo ia i koho kaulana no ka poʻe e hauʻoli nei i ka wela iki i kā lākou meaʻai. Eia nō naʻe, ke waiho nei ka nīnau: he ʻono maʻamau nā kīʻaha Tajik?
ʻO nā mea ʻala ma nā kīʻaha Tajik: Ke ʻimi ʻana i nā mea hoʻohui
ʻIke ʻia nā kīʻaha Tajik no ko lākou ʻono ʻokoʻa, ʻo ia ka mahalo nui i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻala like ʻole. ʻO kekahi o nā mea ʻala maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia i ka meaʻai Tajik, ʻo ia ka cumin, coriander, cardamom, ginger, garlic, a me chili peppers, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole kēia mau mea ʻala e hoʻohui wale i ka wela i nā kīʻaha akā hana pū kekahi i kahi hohonu o ka ʻono a paʻakikī ke hana hou.
Ma waho aʻe o nā mea ʻala ponoʻī, ʻo ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā kīʻaha Tajik kekahi mea i ka pae hope o ka ʻala. Hoʻohana kekahi mau kīʻaha i ka pepa chili holoʻokoʻa, hiki ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia ma mua o ka lawelawe ʻana, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe e hoʻohana i ka pauka chili lepo, i hui ʻia i loko a hoʻohui i kahi pae wela i loko o ka pā. ʻO ka mea hope loa, hiki ke ʻokoʻa ka pae wela o ka meaʻai Tajik mai kēlā me kēia kīʻaha.
Heat Level in Tajik Food: Mai ʻoluʻolu a wela, ma muli o ke kīʻaha
ʻOiai pili pinepine ʻia ka meaʻai Tajik me ka ʻala, ʻaʻole like ka wela o nā kīʻaha āpau. He ʻoluʻolu a ʻono kekahi mau kīʻaha, aʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe hiki ke hoʻopau i kou waha me ka ʻala. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka plov kīʻaha kaulana (rice pilaf), me kahi hui maʻalahi o nā mea ʻala e hoʻohui i ka hohonu i ka pā. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hiki i ka shurbo (ka ʻiʻo a me ka soup meaʻai) ke wela loa, me nā pepa chili e hoʻohui i kahi pae nui o ka wela.

Eia nō naʻe, no ka poʻe makemake i nā kīʻaha maʻalahi, nui nā koho e koho ai i ka meaʻai Tajik.
