It can be confusing for a visitor to decide which dishes to try, so we’ll discuss Pakistan’s best desi dishes here. The range of regional dishes available in Pakistan is going to astound you.
Nihari
I just have to talk about Nihari to get this list started properly. This recipe is so full of incredibly tender meat chunks that. They practically float in desi ghee that it is a game-changer. Because of the spice and ghee infusion, it has a rich red hue. Without nihari, Pakistani food could not be considered complete.
While nihari is typically eaten for breakfast in Punjab. It is typically eaten for dinner in Karachi. The main ingredient in this dish is meat, primarily beef. Though occasionally chicken is also used. The amount of spice used varies depending on the region of Pakistan where nihari is consumed. Nihari is eaten with naan, a type of thick bread, and is topped with ginger, lemon, and green chilies.
Karahi
One of Pakistan’s favorite foods is karahi, which is usually. Made with mutton and chicken but can also be made with beef. We love this dish, which you can find anywhere in the nation. The basic ingredients of Karahi’s recipe are tomatoes and onions.
Then the meat is added and combined with the tomato broth (this is what makes the magic happen). Again, the degree of spice varies from city to city, but generally speaking, we like it spicy! In Pakistan, there are numerous other variations of karahi as well. Such as butt Karachi and shrimp karahi.
Haleem
Barley, various kinds of wheat, and chickpeas are combined to make haleem. It draws inspiration from and is influenced by the Middle East. For many years, people have been preparing and consuming haleem, and it never lets them down. Usually, lunch or breakfast are when it is consumed. The fact that haleem can be eaten with a Naan or straight from the spoon is its best feature. Following a satisfying haleem, your heart will be satisfied. Pakistan’s top haleem spots are in Karachi and Lahore.
Halwa Puri
Without a doubt, Pakistan’s favorite breakfast is halwa puri. After a delicious halwa puri. You may find yourself feeling extremely satisfied and sluggish. On Sundays, the majority of Pakistanis relish halwa puri.
