  • What do you eat at home?

    Since every culture is different, I would like to know what they eat at home. My families origin are in India, so obviously we have north Indian influence in our home cookings, many people from Karachi eat more (Vegetable) dishes compared to other people in Pakistan, though that said, we also eat a lot of meat as well

    Some of things made in my home are:

    Different types of chicken curries



    Biryani



    Mutton Pulao



    Daal Chawal ( at least once a week)



    Alu Keema (minced meet and potatoes)




    Egg plant curry



    Stuffed Parathas (bread)



    Okra curry



    Daal Gosht

      I love biryani but I don't like Pakistani or Indian pulao. The real pulao is Afghan and Uzbek pulao which I'll be eating very soon in Peshawar. I hate karela.

        The only pulao that comes close to the afghan/central asian pulao is the Awadhi pulao from (UP India) luckily my mom makes that version of the pulao often

          The list is too long but mostly all types of Afghan food and sometimes, pakistani/indian, mexican, Italian mostly. I am.a.fan of the Italian Pasta bolognese with my own Afghan touch to it
          Laso love the Mexican Enchiladas, Fajitas etc. Mexican food can be healthy and quick to make which is why we love it.

                  when daal is served with rice in India or Pakistan, it is made so thin. Also, you guys add turmeric to the already yellow fish which turns its color to greenish yellow. Watered down greenish yellow daal is a disgrace to culinary arts.
                  I understand that in some communities, daal is watered down to make ends meet but there is no excuse for a cook to serve it that way in Canada.

                    You are probably talking about Masoor Dal and Kali (black) dal which is watery/thin and usually eaten with rice. But dals that are eaten with Roti/Naan are thicker and drier, like the the Mash Dal or Mung Dal. So it really depends how you are eating with, it's the way these things have been made for thousands of years, you can't change it now
