Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Slow-cooked spinach and mustard greens (Sarson ka saag)

    • alysekstokes on December 15, 2025

      A decadent and velvety saag! I used all spinach and mustard greens, but next time would try to add some other greens into the mix.

  • Karnataka-style prawn curry

    • SarahL on November 01, 2025

      Beautiful color and great flavor. This was enjoyable to make and comes together quickly.

  • Fish curry (Machli ka salan)

    • alysekstokes on December 15, 2025

      This is a stunningly flavorful and simple fish curry. The house smelled so good while it was cooking, and I was thrilled with the result. It's important to get the onions properly caramelized as they contribute so much depth to the sauce.

  • Chicken with chickpeas (Murgh chole)

    • IdleExpatter on April 16, 2026

      I thought this was absolutely delicious. For the reasonably small amount of effort that went into making it, I got a deeply, richly flavorful curry that made outstanding leftovers for the week. And I even used dried chickpeas! If you use canned, you cut out 30% of the active effort of the recipe! I made mine with bone-in chicken thighs. Really, really good.

Publishers Text

The first major cookbook on Pakistani food, Pakistan is a sweeping and ambitious book that puts this delicious and varied cuisine in its cultural context. Thanks to shared borders with Afghanistan, China, India, and Iran, and a history of migration and trade, Pakistani dishes draw upon a marvelous array of flavors and ingredients that make food one of the country’s finest qualities. With over 80 recipes and essays profiling each of the country’s regions, Pakistan is as much for the kitchen as it is for armchair travel.
