Cookery |
Pakistani cuisine is as diverse as it's
people. Most of Pakistani cuisine has Afghan-Turkic-Iranian roots, a legacy of Muslim rule
in South Asia, which got 'Indianized' due to the greater usage of spices; this is
specially true for Pakistani Punjabis, Sindhis and Muhajirs (also Muslims in India);
whereas Pakistani Pashtuns and Baluchese have retained their cuisine similar to our
western neighbors. So in a wider sense Pakistani cuisine is a blend of our western
(Afghan-Iranian) and eastern (Indian) neighbors, depending on the region and people, of
which many have evolved into their own unique distinct characteristics. Meat is a major
part of Pakistani diet, whereas vegetables and beans are as important. Wheat is also the
main staple of Pakistani diet, whereas rice is also popular. The content of spices can
range from very spicy/hot to mild, although spicy/hot seems more popular. In recent times
some of the Chinese and American cuisine have also been adopted by a few segments of
Pakistani urbanites as well. ContactPakistan thanks all
