Vegetables and their names....

@ Tor Khan: My grandmother sued to use "kashmiri" for tamatar (tomato). I don't know if she still does, and I'm not sure how common it is. But most everyone else used tamatar.

Mine's pretty much the same as Yusufzai's, except for Beans: Lobia - We say shoparr.

Kashmirai - Manana Q! And Shoparr, heard of that one too!

Few additions:

Corn: Vegay/Veggi

That's another familiar one. Used interchangeably with Jwar.

"Wagey" is used for corn ear....its daaney are known as Jawar or "da jawaro daney" fried daney are called "Neeney" while the powdered neeney with a little amount of sugar/gurh is known as "Satwan" .......Da pukhto matal ba moo auredaley wee che: "Humm satwan khoree au humm shpeelee wahee"

Wagey is what the Urdu daan and farsiwaan call "Khosha" and it can also be used for "Ghanam" as we say "Da ghanamo wagey" .......Iqbal in his famous shair says:
"Jis kait se muyassar nahi dehqaan ki rozee
Uss kait ke har "khosha-e-Gandam" ko jala doon"

Roshina/Yousafzai Pakhtun,

Thank you, very interesting.

lol @ neeney. that is not the popcorn type right..they are fried in salt? We just call it danay, or "vigo danay".

There is also something called pandiraak and qoondi. Don't know the English terms for those. They are like Saboo/Palak. As kids we used to go to the hills and collect them for sobaat. Memories...... :-/

I add korkaman to my milk, added with honey, dates and cinnamon when I feel ill. It tastes great. I also use it on my face, it works wonders.
