For the past 17 years, I have been learning, testing, and recreating Pakistani/ Indian food for my husband as these foods are native to him.
I learned how to cook Pakistani food first-hand from my sisters-in-law who generously passed their family recipes to me. And I expanded my learning journey through my Pakistani and Indian friends who kindly shared their culinary knowledge with me.
All my recipes here are the results of numerous testing and recreating. Throughout the years I try my best to mix my own spices. Because I wanted to make sure that all my curries like Aloo Gosht or Chicken Karahi have well-balanced spices but are not too spicy in terms of chilies. But of course, you can easily add more chilies if you like.
I have a growing recipe collection on this little webspace. For snacks and starters such as Aloo Paratha or Samosa Chaat. For main courses like Aloo Palak and Keema Matar. And you can also find sweets and desserts like Rasmalai and Gajar Halwa. And there are numerous vegetarian recipes such as Moong Dal and Aloo Chana.
Whichever recipe you like to try, I hope you will enjoy it.
