Lahori Chicken Hareesa

The well-known dish Haleem is often compared to Lahori chicken hareesa. This meal can be made in a variety of ways, including Arabic hareesa and Kashmiri hareesa. But the Lahori hareesa is the most well-known. The meal is wonderful when served with parathas and naan and is prepared in a delectable moong dal hareesa gravy.

Lahori Paye 

Pakistanis love the meal called paye. The hooves of goats, sheep, or even buffalos are used in this traditional cuisine, and they are slow-cooked with a variety of spices to produce gravy. Paye is frequently adored by most as a brunch meal as well and is best served with naan or khameeri rotis.

A flavorful coating of fragrant spices, ginger, garlic, lemon or lime juice, vinegar, and occasionally even yogurt is applied to a whole skinless chicken. The chicken is then deep-fried until both sides are crisp and brown. A well-known traditional fried dish popular in the city of Lahore is the Lahori chargha.

Chargha is a whole chicken roast that is prepared with flavors that will wow you. Even if you're a bit calorie-conscious, this is a pleasure you can offer the taste buds that you will love because it's good to consume.

Nihari 

For all meat lovers, nihari is akin to a supper from paradise. The combination of perfectly cooked, mouth-melting beef, mutton, or chicken with a spicy, delicious sauce flavored with chopped ginger, fried onions, and lemon tastes as good as it sounds.

Since nihari is probably the most well-known dish in both Punjab and Sindh, it is now comparable to a state supper. Nihari may be found practically everywhere throughout Lahore, not only at one particular location. However, in Lahore, you should visit Waris Nihari, Muhammadi Nihari, Haji Sahib Nihari Walay, Dogar Restaurant, and Monal if you want to sample the greatest nihari.

Lassi 

Lassi has been referred to as a desi Bear by some. I don't know how much of it is accurate, but one thing is certain: Lassi is the most amazing and delicious drink you will ever taste.

It's great to put ice, thick cream, whipped milk, and yogurt on top of blended and beaten yogurt, milk, and sugar. There are several different kinds of Lassi in Punjab, including Meethi Lassi, Kachi Lassi, and Chaati ki Lassi. But the fundamental component of any lassi is milk.

While Meethi Lassi is made in every milk shop, Feeqay di Lassi is the greatest, thus you should taste it. Fresh butter is poured into a glass of Lassi that has been filled with pure milk, fresh yogurt, sugar, and a thick layer of cream on top. Do you believe it to be over? Yes, this is the perfect moment for a specialty—a handful of sweet ricotta cheese.

Throughout the whole process of producing Lassi, no electronic equipment is employed. It is argued that while machines can do tasks quickly, they cannot provide flavor. Lassi is therefore made there entirely by hand.
