Can you spot what is wrong with this dish? MasterChef star Poh Ling Yeow comes under fire AGAIN… this time for her Afghan rice
MasterChef star Poh Ling Yeow has come under fire once again – this time for preparing Afghan rice, better known as Afghani Kabli Pulao, in an endorsement for the popular slow cooker, Crock-Pot.
After revealing the stunning meal on Instagram, the 47-year-old attracted a slew of angry comments from fans who accused her of preparing it incorrectly.
It seems Adelaide culinary sensation opted to put the carrots and currants as toppings, rather than mixing it into the rice.

‘Seriously that is not Afghan style. Plz do research,’ one fan wrote, thinking her mistake was hilarious and adding crying emojis.
Another added: ‘Where did you get the recipe from it’s clearly not an Afghan dish.’
‘This is not an Afghani dish, the carrots and the currents are for the rice which is called Qabili palaw,’ one fan remarked.
However, not everyone was upset at the home chef, with plenty of people in support of the delicious-looking meal.

‘People are getting their knickers in a twist! No one said it’s a traditional Afghan dish! It is inspired with a couple of ingredients usually used in Afghan meals. I would be proud,’ one commented.
Another wrote: ‘Looks amazing, will deft try.’

Speaking to Freedom Hunters with Suzanne Delahunty on the weekend, Poh admitted she has always been obsessed with being famous.
‘I fantasised a lot about being some kind of entertainer. There was a lot of singing into hair brushes and doing accents to myself,’ she said of her formative years.
When it came to auditioning for scripts, Poh said she ‘sought out anything she could get her hands on’ in the hopes of landing her big role.
She went on to say she once tried to be a makeup artist to the stars, so she could get herself in close proximity to celebrities.
‘I really liked to dream, and being close to people in these kinds of fields made me feel that something magical was possible for me,’ she confessed.
