My sister demonstrates to me how yummy masala is injected directly into the leg piece of the chicken. This she called Al-Baik chicken and was served with fries and a yummy sauce containing olive oil. A bit heavy too.

Dinner: Pita bread with chicken and peri peri sauce
Via Flickr:
This dish can only be cooked by my mother. The balance in taste has to match with peri peri sauce ingredients.

Madani mirch or talhi hui mirch, Karachi
Via Flickr:
Green chillies are slit open and then zeera and salt are placed inside each of them. Cooked in oil until fried. But never deep fried and never use red chillies. These are Pakistani chillies.

Lunch: Masoor ki daal with piyaz and mirch, Karachi
Via Flickr:
Massor ki daal, usually cooked for lunch but may also be eaten as a dinner. Mostly eaten in our house with hari mirch (also called Madani mirch or talhi hui mirch) and piyaz (onions) & tamator (cut tomatoes). Sprinkling of chaat masala completes the taste. Must be eaten with either chawal (cooked rice but not boiled) or tandoor ki roti (unleavened bread cooked by Pathans or Afghans in a huge, underground tandoor).

Dinner: Home made pizza with russian salad
Via Flickr:
Pakistanis have so much altered this Italian dish that Italian national would find it hard to recognize the ingredients except for the erstwhile cheese. Like all great cooks of the world we tend to improvise according to the tastes and sensibilities of our nation. Therefore, unknown to Italians, Pakistani pizzas have such ingredients as chicken tikka or massala tikka - loads of it - daubed with chadder and mozrilla cheese, shimla mirch (green chilli), a wonderful pizza paste and a very thick bread. Cut tomatoes and onions are the staples. My sister also added russian salad for the added taste. No Pepsi, though!
