Favourite breakfast?

[Shapur]

What's your favourite type of breakfast?

I like Pairawai or known as Malayi in Pekhawar with green tea and bread or French/Danish pastry with milk. I do like eggs and Parattas once in a while as well. Not a huge fan of heavy breakfast though. I need at least an hour after waking up to have breakfast,

Coffee, Eggs, Bananas and Greek Yogurt.

Green tea egg karai bread from the nanwai or reheated, sometimes paratha, kaymak, Maraba. If possible kaimaq chai.
When out of country, eggs Benedict with salmon, hollandaise sauce and fried beef strips in bacon style.

Unless you know how to make parathas and are frequently participating in the process of preparing it, I hope you choke on it next time you stuff your faces with parathas in the morning.

they're really not that hard to make though

[Shehbaz Khan]

Paratha & Omlete with half cup of tea if my mom is making it. Else a glass of stuffed milk :p it has those badams etc in it.

Turkish yogurt, buttered nan, boiled eggs, roht and tea all made and served to me by my Pashtune/Pakhtune servants.

My cousins own coffee shops and its packed with people in the morning. Seems like caffine junkies are coming to our part of the world as well.

Have you heard of frozen Shana parathas? Takes 1 minute to prepare one tastes amazing.

[DaZahroJaam.]

I don't cook with frozen stuff. i am not sure if it was the same brand or not but I tried the frozen ones for Ramazan once and it seemed like it had soaked up all the oil. Yuck.
Strangely, the guys loved it.

I said that because I was thinking of families back home. A typical Pashtun family has at least 11 members. Two skillfully made parathas per person would easily be 15ish (a couple of them will end up being embarrassments not worth seeing the light of the day) and the entire process of it could take up to 1.5 or 2 hours of a day.
If a person spends two hours of their daily lives to make you parathas and you can't be bothered to help or return the favour (which most men in our culture don't), you don't deserve any parathas for breakfast.

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

Eggs, coriander, red unions, garlic, tomatoes, green hot chilies and paprika chopped and fried in virgin olive oil! Served with salt, black pepper and fresh steamy hot soft white bread.

Per economic theory, specialization is the most efficient. Punjab - being the cradle of lower class, lower caste, dravidian converts - should specialize in being naukars.

I have good memories of Islamabad. I'd use the intercomm to order my punjabi naukars (because it's easier than shouting... this was early 2000s, ie fairly modern technology considering it's Pakistan) to make paratha and omelette, with chai, and to bring russ after.

Speaking of which... the sikh punjabi maid I had is stupid. You remember the story, right? Anyways, I already know she slow cleans because she gets paid by the hour, but the previous to last time I ordered her to make some food as well. It was terrible. The next time I told her to forget about cooking that day (and hopefully for the rest of her life), and stick to just cleaning. Somehow, and this is obviously a mystery science will never explain, she spent an EXTRA HOUR doing just cleaning vs cleaning and cooking combined. I told her off and fired her. I've hired another maid now. Pakistani punjabi. Hopefully she's good.

To answer the question: paratha and omelette remains a classic. Daal paratha (ie paratha with daal stuffing) or aalloo (potato) paratha are really good. All this with either tor chai or pink tea/kashmiri tea.

Anyone tried kulchays?

Yes, we mainly have kuochays for eid and special ocassions. Kulchays are not a daily staple.

I like Afghan/IranianTurkish kulchays. Not seen Pakistani kulchays yet. Mittayi seems to be more popular in Pakistan?

Mittayi is much more popular.

They're not a staple. They're not popular... many people haven't had them.
