Balay
In the series of food, you must try in 2023 – Pakistan Edition, we bring you, Balay. The cuisines of Skardu Valley are unique in taste and texture as they are entirely made from locally available ingredients. Many dishes are prepared from scratch by the locals who prefer foods consisting of meat or bread. One of those dishes is Balay. Balay is a thick, gravy-like soup made up of gummy homemade noodles mixed with bits of goat meat and immersed in a hearty goat meat broth. It is served at the beginning of a traditional Baltistan meal in Skardu Valley.
Chapli Kebab
Chapli kabab is a speciality of Pukhtun Cuisine, the food of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province of Pakistan. These chapli kebabs are also called Peshawari kebabs named after Peshawar, the capital city in the same province. Chapli Kebab is available all around the seasons, you just have to visit Peshawar for some authentic taste. Make sure you have it from the Kissa Khowani Bazar, they have some of the best Kebab shops there.
Gajjar Ka Halwa
It will be unfair not to mention Gajjar Ka Halwa. Gajjar Ka Halwa is one of most favourite dishes that we have in winter. The essential ingredients used in preparing gajjar ka halwa are carrots, milk, ghee and nuts. All these ingredients are loaded with proteins, vitamins, calcium and magnesium that are building blocks for good health. You can easily get it from any bakery in Pakistan but we strongly recommend it to have anywhere in Punjab. It is something that Punajb specializes in.
Prapu
The majority of the meals in Skardu are cooked completely from locally sourced products, with many components of the recipe created from scratch by the families. Balti cuisine is readily noticeable as distinct from meals in Pakistan’s lowlands and river basins. another famous delicacy from Skardu is Prapu. Prapu is a noodle dish that has been thickened with ground almonds. The noodles are created by hand from wheat flour and simmered till tender. When they’re done, they’re smeared with a thick paste made of powdered walnuts and squeezed apricot oil, and the entire thing is seasoned with fresh herbs.
This list does not even begin to scratch the surface of the options available in Pakistan. But make 2023 the year of feasting, and eat everything you can find. Please tell us about a meal that you know and that is well-known in your area.
