Sunday mornings in Pakistan deserve to be treated to Chana Masala and Puris from the nearest bakery (or halwai shop). We will cater to Puris some other time, for now stay content with Chana Masala. It tastes yummy and goes great with rice, chappatis, parathas or even a plain old spoon!
Some people really love this speciality dish. Although it is not that difficult to prepare it does require about 70 minutes of your time. It tastes great and once you learn it you’ll love to do it again. Indian version of this popular subcontinental dish utilises a pinch of asafoetida (heeng). People on the Pakistani side don’t use heeng that often. So here we go.
One of the simplest and quickie subcontinental salads is the Aloo Raita. In India & Pakistan it literally goes with any and every dish. Try this one on your next desi cooking venture.

Cauliflower is widely popular and has a special place in the hearts of millions of Indians and Pakistanis, especially since it is a seasonal vegetable to be prized in the all too short winter months. It is abundantly available throughout Sub-continent as well as in Western countries. It provides a great tasting and easy to cook vegetarian dish.
Okra is a common vegetable all over Pakistan and India. It is one of my personal favourites. The tasty chewy flavor is one to be relished. Makes a great quick cooking vegetarian dish served with chappati or naan bread and fresh salads.
