But the dishes found in Karachi…such as the street food…although it might not be found in Punjab, it’s found in India. And many dishes are found in Indian cuisine and have Indian origins. Yes, Karachi’ites and Punjabis may cook their kadhi and nihari and gol-guppay differently…but these are found in India too. It’s an interesting question. I’m curious about dishes that are of strictly Pakistani origin though I don’t have issues with eating dishes that are not unique to Pak or one region of Pak.

I agree , but that is where my point comes through in addition. The dishes have the same names across regions but they are being made very very differently. They taste differently across regions. Kari pakora is an example. Pakistani origin kari has onion and tomatos in it. Indians only do basic powder masalas and add achar to it too.

I feel its not the origin of a dish we are after , probably we are after “which dish is famous for which place” .

For example here in England, there is a season when we get a particular candy in Blackpool. Its called Rock . Its so highly associated with Blackpool and Brighton that anyone who goes to those cities is recommended to have some Rock too ! The same candy is branded differently in many other parts of the UK ! Halloween time , the shops are full of it !
