Whole cloves of cardamom and golden sultana raisins give off a beautifully sweet aroma, and at larger restaurants it may include peanuts and even pistachios as a garnish. Saffron gives the rice taste and color, but typically the spices are milder than biryani. Usually, there will be a chunk of mutton or beef meat, sometimes an entire leg, at the heart of each massive batch. Pulao can be made with any size grain of rice, which the chef always fries in oil while stirring in large amounts of dry spices. Imagine Silk Road traders bringing over the very first dishes of Kabuli Pulao to eat right here in Western Pakistan. Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, lies just a few hours from the KP Province (North-Western border) of Pakistan.
There’s no better choice for lunch than to share a few heaping plates of Rice Pulao. In Lahore you can try nihari at Waris Nihari, and in Karachi, I would highly recommend Javed Nihari. It has a deep red color from the spice and infused ghee.Įaten from communal plate-trays, you garnish the Nihari from a side-plate of fragrant sliced ginger, spicy green chilies, and a squeeze from a fresh lime or two. The consistency is oozing and thick, so full of ultra-tender meat chunks literally floating in desi ghee. The slow-cooking stew is then stirred altogether in a glorious cauldron of a pot. The meat ingredients follow (most commonly beef shank), and a very healthy portion of Desi Ghee (home-made local clarified butter). Nihari begins as a heap of dry spices frying in vegetable oil and animal fat. I would easily consider this among the best breakfasts I have ever had anywhere in the world. This dish is truly a game-changer for me when it comes to Pakistani cuisine. To start this list off right, I just have to talk about Nihari. Its no secret that Desi Ghee is The Secret. Enough introductions, lets get to all the dishes. Get ready for some serious Pakistani flavor and regional specialties. In this list of the 21 dishes to eat in Pakistan, I’m going to share with you the best dishes I tried during my trip to Pakistan. Pakistani food is rich, packed full of spice, generous with ghee, and unbelievably tasty.
