Re: Pakistani cuisine?
Karachi represents culture of all the communities living there and there is nothing specific that Karachiite claim of their own as far as the food is concerned. All Nihari, Haleem, Biryani are from outside areas. There might be something traditional with Karachiites, but that would be with people of Lyari and other old areas.
Karachi was a Hindu dominated area before 1947, so if you want to look into traditional dishes of Karachi, you should have to look at Sindhi Hindus of India. After around 7 decades, Karachi does not have its ownership. Every one says ‘hum Delhi wale’, ‘Hum UP wale’, hum Bihar wale… you will find food from these areas in Karachi, but nothing specific that can be termed Karachiite food.

Re: Pakistani cuisine?
Nice thread!
I've always been sooo curious about this. Our family cooks very Lucknow/Delhi style but it would be so interesting to try and make food from other regions in Pakistan.
Balochi food/culture has always interested me.
