Today we are Punjab the people who are real lively people who are fond of eating good food and enjoy life!! Hoy Bale Bale!!
Probably the most famous cuisine in Indian cuisine is Punjabi cuisine.
Why not the Punjabis are the most enterprising people who have make their
presence felt all around the world. Punjabi food is usually relished by people
of all communities. But Punjabi home
cooking differs from the restaurant cooking style. At the restaurants, the
chefs make a liberal use of desi ghee, butter and cream to make the food lip
smacking and finger licking. At home just like you and me people prefer using
sunflower oil or some other refined oil for cooking, with the basic idea of
making the food low in fat content.
The cuisine of Punjab has a variety of mouth-watering vegetarian as well
as non vegetarian dishes. The spice content ranges from minimal to pleasant to
high.
Wheat is the staple food here but rice is also enjoyed. When it comes to food, each region in Punjab has an entirely different preference. In the preparation of Punjabi food, onion, ginger and garlic are used extensively to enhance the taste of the food.
Traditional Punjabi thali consists of varied kinds of breads; some are baked in the tandoor such as tandoori roti, lachha paratha, naan and kulcha, while others are dry baked on tava like chapatti and jowar ki roti. There is another fabulous variety of roti called rumali roti, which is larger in size as compared to the normal one and is also easily absorbable. Also, there are breads that are shallow fried such as parantha. Aloo paratha, methi paratha, paneer paratha and deep fried such as puri and bhatoora.

Rajma, or Cauliflower and Potato vegetable, palak panner, peas paneer or corn palak, mattar paneer… the list is
endless! But there are also stuff like kadhi chawal, peas pulao… whatever you
