Pakistani cuisine?

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.

Yeah, this is the question I was asking. It’s obviously impossible to find something completely different because so many people immigrated from India but things have been evolving for a while. Did they merge with the local culture and create something new? Or did the local culture survive?

I was watching an Indian show about food from different areas and some food was different and some so familiar. I started wondering what there would be uniquely in a smaller radius. There are so many villages and I’m sure there’s cuisine hiding somewhere that hasn’t become mainstream. (like I found a vegetable that has flowers in it. I thought flowers were a masterchef thing lol!)

Maybe katlama is a good contender?
