Hara (green) masala is a distinctive green “curry” made with fresh green herbs is an exquisite dish rarely seen in restaurants. Chicken quarters are marinated overnight in yogurt, coriander, mint, green chillies, and a homemade spice blend then finished with fresh ginger
Karahi Aloo
A karahi is a type of cooking pot, sort of a thick wok, that is widely used in Pakistan; it lends its name to a variety of different dishes that are cooked in it (similar to how tagines, casseroles or paellas inherited their names). Karahi aloo (potatoes) is a vegetarian dish cooked with tomatoes, ginger & garlic with homemade freshly ground spices & garnished with fresh ginger & coriander.
Both dishes are served with matar pulao, a pilaf of basmati rice studded with green peas, scented with cinnamon, green cardamom and saffron, along with a cucumber and mint yogurt raita.
Khubani Ka Meetha
This traditional dessert is a kind of apricot “trifle” composed of a puree of dried apricots layered with vanilla custard and garnished with almonds.
