Re: food & culture
Daal Makhni = Punjab, I think it was Rahim Yar Khan, where they serve special daal makhini. some of our seniors suggested to go for it, when we are visiting RYK. Then came a comment that it was not daal makhini , but paseene wali daal, as the cook was sprinkling paseena like taRka. so we didn’t go for it 
Re: food & culture
I think it comes from Punjabi culture.
yes its Punjabi. Is it halwa type thing?
Re: food & culture

Re: food & culture
Daal Makhani (Kaali Daal) and Murgh Makhani are like two of the most common North Indian dishes you find in desi restaurants. I even find those in South Indian restaurants sometimes. Here goray and kalay people think Desi food=Butter Chicken and Naan. Hahahahaha.

Yep. I'm a Punjabi, but my dad is from Bangalore. So my favorite food is Idli Sambhar, vadas, dosas. Those kind of things. The east food is kinda interesting. If you think Andhra and Tamil/Kerala food is hot, those guys near china eat plates of fire. They eat lots of fish and potatoes in Bengal side and of course Calcutta is famous for Indo Chinese.

Re: food & culture

@Ninja
Yep. I cook all the time. Like I said, my uncle owns an Indo Chinese restaurant in bangalore. And my Dadi was famous in our whole kandhan for being the best cook. We used to fly her in to our houses for parties to supervise the kitchens. She'd make biryani in the house and the dilli side of the family would make an excuse to come visit bangalore hahahaha.
I was just cooking earlier tonight. Made some Chicken Boti Tikka, Prawn Skewers (with garlic and chinese flavors) and some chili shrimp. I want to go to Bombay some day and go try out the street foods.

OMGGGG YES THAT COCONUT CHUTNEYYYYYYY IS SO GOOD. My dad and I go to this Tamil restaurant near our house (ALL the desi people in our area are Tamils or Hyderabadis!) And they make these big big Idlis with fresh steaming hot Sambhar and fresh Coconut Chutney. I go there at least once a week.
Re: food & culture
Any idea how to explain “Malai” to people in english? Cream? But we also find malai in things like coconuts (narail pani for example) ???

Re: food & culture
Infact, these mountain people hardly eat anything good, none of their food is anywhere near Punjabi food
