i am pakistani but i dont eat daal

[Karachi]

i am not sure about other pakistanis but in my community we dont that much daal, I am from a urduspeaking community which came from Delhi. Delhi ofcourse is where best of Mughal cuisines came from. In our family most of our traditional food is meat based, my mom and her family specially has traditional recipes passed down through the generations of many different mughal cuisine items. I hardly eat daal, maybe like once a month

I have researched about my mom's family background, they most likely came from afghanistan, but not from pashtun areas, they were most likely dari/farsi speakers or could be even tajik, i am not sure. My grandfather understood and spoke dari/farsi very well, even my mom knows it. Many of the so called "mughal food" actually from Afghanistan/tajikistan area, ofcourse it also mixed with local indian food too and became unique

[Talal]

^it doesnt matter man, its rizq from Allah no matter what people consider it to be

Pashtuns mostly eat meat..but it is wrong to say that they never taste dhaal..i think compared to pakistanis, indians eat dhaal the most.

dhaal + chicken with bread & salata = love

[KingKhan]

Give me your Pakistani identification, back.


Dhaal with rice and chicken=

Actually Karachi is famous for its biryanis.

I'm Afghan and I Love Daal, it's a nutritious and easy to make food and Afghans too have daal but we call it "paatey" ..and it's usually not a liquidy consistency.
