Pakistani cuisines have always had a regional character, with


each of the four provinces offering their special flavors. In
Punjab the influence of Mughlai cuisine is prominent in the use
of Tandoori ovens. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the land of hospitality
has the influence of Afghani cuisine, more use of lamb meat in
shape of tikka, karahi, and beef chapli kabab are famous dishes
of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, most of the food is non-spicy and
cooked in animal fat. In Baluchistan with Iranian and Turkish
influence, cooks use the “Sajji” method of barbecuing whole
lamb (on large skewers over coal pits marinated only with salt)
and bake the breads in a deep pit. Black Pomfret is a well-
known delicacy of Sindh because of the Arabian Sea. The fish is
cleaned and cooked with a variety of spices.

Ceremonial occasions such as weddings have inspired a number


of delectable dishes. One of the traditional dishes at a marriage
feast is Chicken Qorma with either Pullao or Biryani.

Mughlai style of cookery evolves at the Mughal court and


remains centered in Old Lahore; Chicken Tandoori is from that
origin. Nizam (Ruler) of Hyderabad (India) had an experimental
kitchen and that is where Biryani was created and perfected.

And Its Regions

History of the Origin of Traditional Pakistani Cuisine

Pakistani cuisine is often spicy and also known for its richness. It is a distinct
blend of flavors from Afghanistan and Iran with strong culinary influences from
the Middle East, Central and Western Asia. The flavors have travelled more than
five hundred years are now fused with indigenous South Asian Cuisine found
in the Indus Valley and Punjab. The food also varies greatly from region to
region within Pakistan, reflecting the country's ethnic, cultural and culinary
diversity.

The cuisine in Sindh and Punjab can be very hot and spicy, and is generally
identical to foods consumed in northern India. Food in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
Baluchistan and Northern Areas is similar to cuisines found in Afghanistan,
Central Asia, Iran and the Middle East, where mild aromatic spices are used.
The main course is served with wheat bread (Naan) or rice. Salads generally are
served with the main course rather than before. Assorted fresh fruit or desserts
are consumed at the end. Meat (including Beef) plays a dominant role in
Pakistani food, compared to other South Asian cuisines.
