    Technically, I am Indian, but for me the One True Dish will always be nihari.

    I’ll go for Haleem or Sirri Payey.

  • aziz 10:01 am on April 17, 2008 | #

    oh man… haleem is a close second. I go with the dried onions (”baristo” ?), lemon juice, and mint leaves on top.

    The fact that biryani has not already been mentioned is a travesty. I direct your attention to this feast: the world’s largest biryani cookoff. Now that’s what I call good eatin’.

    Muse, i fixed your link for you :)

    Biryani definitely belongs in the top five. I go for the chicken biryani myself :) You?

    I concur with chicken biryani. But biryani is biryani, any kind will do. I really want some right now.

    Fresh halva-puri-channay served in the Margalla Hills overlooking Islamabad.

    Baraka has mentioned halva puri and channay, so I will say palak gosht.

    Although right now I fancy some aloo anday.

  • baraka 7:15 pm on April 22, 2008 | #

    Halva-puri-channay are one dish to me :)

  • aasem 10:25 pm on April 22, 2008 | #

    Baraka, would you mind adding lassi to it :)

  • baraka 11:22 pm on April 22, 2008 | #

    Only if it’s mango lassi, but I’d rather have a cup of chai after that kind of breakfast! :)

    I love biryani, or leh-me-mareez. But this environmentalism thing bothers me a little, so maybe I shall settle for more veg with, for taste, some non-veg.

    How is veg/non-veg related to environment? Actually to make same amount of food value (in calories) non-veg food demands more from the environment. For example, 1 calorie food value of chicken comes from maybe 10 calories of foodgrain.

    But if you live in a sparsely populated area, don’t feel bad about eating as much non-veg as you wish. The reason requires long explanation, not appropriate here. :)
