Common Eating habits in Punjabis

  1. They put chic-pea (chana) in fruit chaat.
  2. They eat Haleem with Naan/Roti

Is there any punjabi here who does not fit my profile?

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

***I had never had Haleem or fruit chat until I came to the big cities Karachi and Lahore, was raised on bajray ki roti, sarsoun ka saag and lassi…:snooty: ***

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Haleem is more of a speciality of Karachi although it is available all over panjab.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

I don't put chickpeas in my fruit chaat, nor do I eat haleem with naan/roti. Haleem is a complete meal on its own.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

They make white rice and teen-daal wali daal and eat it with dahi and kachumar at least once a week!

I think you were thinking of payay not haleem, thats as punjabi as it gets!

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

they eat tons of payaz (onion) with their salan roti meal...

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Im punjabi and we don't put chick peas in our fruit chaat...eww totally a misfit with the fruit. As for the haleem yes we eat it with roti/naan.... I mean what else would you eat it with? I have tried it on rice but not a very good combo...how do you eat your haleem?

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

You are mistaken payaa is more like punjabi dish 90% cholestrol. I love it.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

tht's exactly wht i was gona say ''BINGO''

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Haleem with NAAN wakkk

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

have you actually ever been to panjab? panjabis mix chcick peas with fruits very often, and sprinkle black/red peper on them making a very disgusting dish.
Panjabis also have some of the most vilest eating habbits out their, and bad food manners. I remeber being in pindi and meeting a guy who had a window making shop. Well when i went there he was eating lunch, and he got up to shake my hand, well the guy still had "salan" on his hands(and he knew it) but he shook my hand anyways, and getting his grease all over my hands. YUCK!
and another way to spot a punjabi is that if they are eating rice, they prefer to eat it out of their hands, even if there is a spoon right next to them.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

ya i eat haleem with naan...isnt that how you're supposed to? oh and i dont like chick peas....but ya its been done in my house :D

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Never had chick peas in fruit chat .. maybe at someone else house but yeah I eat haleem with roti or nan. What else are you suppose to eat it with? Chawal? Thats like ruining haleem.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Well then all I can say is mix up with educated punjabis. A man is known by the company he keeps.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

^^ Im not a a Panjabi bro

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis

Punjab has the best food... Punjabiz eat GOOD food, simple as that. Agar channey daley yah na dallain tu is me kya khujli hai, youre just trying to put them down, and your example of a guy shaking your hand with salan to prove all Punjabiz are vile is idiotic too. Its tradition to eat rice using their hands, nothing wrong with that, I dont do it, but then again I dont think its 'disguesting' either, no different from eating 'roti' from your hands.

Re: Common Eating habits in Punjabis
