Indian food-- Best in the world

[ju87]

Regardless of the dish one difference is the use of spices. I think and hope I am right Pakistani dishes have more spices while Indian dishes have less spices.

Correct me if I am wrong.

You haven't tasted chutneys from Andhra Pradesh

As the joke goes, the food is why Indians use water instead of toilet paper

Right name and pronounciation is Qubooli Pulao, not Kabuli Pulao. Its plain rice with channa daal (check peas), kumin seed, onions, garlic, black cardamom, cinnamon and cloves and black pepper.

Usually served with plain raita, i.e. yoghurt, salt and chilli/cayenne pepper.

Slightly off the topic, most Pakistani restaurants I see in the west advertise themselves as "Pakistani and Indian cuisine". Why is this so? To attract more customers?

Because it is similar ?
Dont get me wrong, I m not saying Indian food is not good.
In our local restaurants in the bay , 50% of the patrons are indians
bacause the food taste soooooooooooo good!
I think punjabi Indian food tastes much better than regular I.F.

I like food and love to impress women by my cooking skills and getting rewards.

Qubooli pulao is really easy to make; soak 2 cups of basmati and 1/2 cup of channa daal for an hour. Fry onions till they turn golden-brown, add cinnamon, black cardamom, cloves, pepper and stir fry for a minute. Add cumin seed and garlic and pour in water, rice and daal and set to cook in 45 minutes. You'll get an incredible result if you add 2 table spoons of plain vinnegar, its my secret

For plain chilli raita take 2 cups of youghurt, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-2 teaspoons chilli pepper and mix well together.

Heat 3 tablesppons of oil, add 2-4 curry leaves and 1 teaspoon of cumin seed and fry for a minute and pour over the raita.

Enjoy your Qubooli Pulao

What about sarsoon ka saag and makai ki rooti. This perhaps is one of the best punjabi dish.

Ezaz please don't stop there it should be complimented with Lassi and lot of butter.

Yep - I have fond memories associated with that dish!

 

[Flintlock]

From a Marathi perspective - puran pori and aam ras - it tastes divine!
