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.
The Pakistani curry is amazingly diverse and versatile, embracing almost all of the seasonal vegetables in addition to mutton, chicken, fish, seafood and eggs. The curries are generally cooked over an open flame, with liberal doses of spices in vegetable oil. Traditional accompaniments are rice, either plain boiled or fried; and an assortment of flat breads like chapatti/s, roti/s and naan/s. These are made fresh from wheat or flour dough, and served hot off the oven.
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.
