Pakistani recipes

Pakistani home cooking is built around a few patient techniques: slowly browning onions, frying a masala until the oil separates, and finishing a dish with a hot tarka or a squeeze of lemon. The same handful of spices turns daal into comfort food, mutton into nihari and rice into a celebration biryani.

This collection covers what families actually cook on a weekday and what appears on the table at Eid or a wedding. Start with a quick daal or aloo curry when time is short, or plan ahead for karahi, qorma and haleem when you can let the pot do the work.

This collection has 97 dishes, including Chana Daal, Aloo Paratha, Anda Curry. A typical recipe takes about 55 minutes, and each one comes with step-by-step instructions and cooking timers.
