Famous Pakistani Food

Maybe until thirty - five years ago , feast food was prepared at home . Whether it is a wedding , marriage , Aqiqa or birthday . Guests would gather at home . Outside , it would be evening .
The cook would be called and the pots would be cooked outside the house . In this era , the dishes were also counted .
There used to be : whatever food was cooked , everyone would eat it with passion while licking their fingers . Gourma was the favourite dish of the time . It is still available today .
But where is that taste now ?
Who remembers the taste of this Qorma ?

friend, question.... in all the threads - i noticed absence of cassava.

Given it is a very hardy root in drought prone areas, is it not cultivated there?
 
Not to my knowledge about it cooking in Pakistan.
Any how, some locally grown in west of Karachi.
  • Successfully grown Cassava (Manihot esculenta) at Bhawany, Lasbella and isolated, prepared and evaluated its flour and starch usage in bakery products, as alternate to potato chips and starch for textile industry at small scale.

Add the peas and water, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
