Dastarkhwan (Pakistan)

About the Book

A bold, fiery, and deeply generous journey through the dhabas of Lahore, the charcoal grills of Peshawar, the seafood stalls of Karachi, and the ancient nomadic kitchens of Balochistan. Dastarkhwan (meaning "the spread table" in Urdu) presents ten of Pakistan's most iconic dishes, each with a stunning full-page professional photograph, a complete ingredient list, a detailed step-by-step method, and an insider Chef's Tip. From the overnight-simmered richness of Nihari to the fiery simplicity of Chicken Karahi, from the rustic Chapli Kebab of Peshawar to the sweet, caramelized warmth of Gajar Ka Halwa — this book captures the extraordinary boldness and soul of Pakistani cuisine.
