Pakistani Cuisine Leaves Hundreds Wanting More at Indian Food Festival

What can we say, except that Pakistani food rocks!

While we know Pakistani food tends to be a hit with foreigners, we never knew our cuisine would make an impact on the Indians next door (because lets face it, our cuisine is so similar for the most part).

Apparently, the folks next door loved it so much, at the DCWA International Bazaar 2018 in New Delhi, that they couldn’t get enough of it.

The DCWA International Bazaar is a charity event organised by the Commonwealth Women’s Union in New Delhi (DCWA) every year. This year the charity event had participants from over 50 diplomatic agencies and organizations from various nations. Pakistan was also among these foodie 50.

Each participating country set up two stalls – one for cultural cuisine and the other for cultural products. The food stall had the crowd swarm in like bees drawn in by the smell and sight of a cuisine that was ‘just like home’

The credit for this can be given to Chef Yasir Suleman who was heading the kitchen. He helped prepare some classics that Pakistani cuisine has to offer such as Chicken Tikka, Biryani, Chapli Kebab, Chicken Malai Boti, and more.

 

Both of Pakistan’s booths were managed by the Ladies Club of Pakistan High Commission. The wife of Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India, Mahwish Sohail Mahmood, spearheaded the whole thing.

The attendees of this food fest were Delhi-based diplomatic corps and many other people from various social circles of the capital.

The Pakistani food stall’s success proves our food makes quite an impression and is loved abroad.

For those people that can’t tell between Indian and Pakistani cuisine, apparently the difference between the two is greater than we think. After all, the attendees of the Indian Bazaar could certainly tell. The rest of us need to work on our palate.
