Re: Cooking for a punjabi family..
I am a punjabi. I think most of the punjabi families are comfortable with both veges and meat. However , I have seen preference for chicken I mean if you’re invited in a punjabi dawat they will sure have a “kukaar” (chicken in punjabi) ka salan as a main course.
Other than that, there are few dishes I have seen exclusively in punjabi families like :
-holay ka salam
- mothi/ red beans ka salan
-mooli kay parathay
-attay ka halwa
-gurr walay chawal - moongray (it’s a vegetable)
-rewari ( candy made of gurr)
and many many more
