Legendary Pakistani Food Hidden In The Back of an LA Convenience Store

people who spew such crap actually have a very faint idea of indian civilization, the modern numerals were given by the indians, concept of clinic, health care hospitals came about in india, just read arthashastra and natyashastra, these to manuals alone exhibit indian organization in greco roman periods which was far superior then the later, indians had local govt during maurya period which was not the case all around the world thousands of years later. Indian architecture is now declared muslim, who gave the concept of pointed arch, multi foil arches, minars, the finials which adorn every islamic dome today? it was basically all indian concept, even the idea of crescent mounted on the islamic mosques is a buddhist tradition, all early and foundational islamlic observatories were actually indian in origin. The indians not only exported spices but were the first to discover sugar/refined sugar, all your desserts owe their existence to an indian discovery.

as to the dhoti rant, even the ''muslim'' kameez, kurta is basically an indian dress, only indians used to wear a dress which had two slits on their gowns, this is proven through gupta era carving which shows a woman/dancer wearing a slit shirt like kurta/kameez and an al eruni account also describing a slit shirt worn by the indian females, no where else in the world, such a dress was worn which used those slits so characteristic of kurta or kameez, so even the pakistani national dress has indian origins

i wouldnt even bother about the food, if you thik that pakistani food is persian, arab, just prove it with evidence and not just rants.

Why are you giving our history away to another country. This is why I firmly believe you are nothing but an Indian troll with false flags. let me educate you.

Numerals: from Harrapa, Mohen jo Daro, IVC [Pakistan]

Oldest Hospital: Earliest were in temples in Egypt, but I found the first stand-alone hospital documented to be in Sri Lanka. [Again not India]

I guess you seem to be a fan of Chanakya (RSS godfather,) I wouldn't put too much exphasis on the writing from Hindu philosphers. Their theories, apart from Vedic flying saucers and ancient internet (lol,) such as a violent Aryan invasion have been debunked.

Shalwar kameez is from Central Asian Turks, they still wear such clothes. Shalwar Kameez was the natural evolution of the Turkic clothing and Afghan/Pukhtoon firaq partoog/ khet partoog.

In reference to Gupta nonsense,

Parthians, Scythians, Hepthalites, and other Iranics had already been wearing such clothes before this idol was carved (300 CE.)

how is that a slit shirt which is being referred to using parthian statue, even today the pashtun women traditional dress has no slits and wear their kameez like a frock, the central asian women dont wear kurta, only tajik women do and this shows their borrowings from india itself. Do you have any ancient reference to iranians ever wearing a kurta like dress, i highly doubt so, as i stated al beruni was iranian and he described kurta as something unique to india, a dress which was not worn outside of it.

temple hospital is not modern day hospital, clinics, hospitals etc all find mention in sushruta samhita and ashokan edicts.

there are no ''numerals'' from mohenjodaro, harappa, you are just being desperate.

@Pan-Islamic-Pakistan is correct, the dress code actually came down south from Central Asian Turks. Even Mongols had a dress with slits.

Quote:"Taking the Kushan period as a starting point the changes that took place in Indian costume as a result of the connections with Uzbekistan in Central Asia are discussed The ordinary dress of the people of India till then had consisted usually of unstitched garments as antariya/dhoti, uttariya/dupatta and a kayabandh/cummerbund with a turban for men. With the advent of the Kushans this was extended, and the fashion of wearing sewn garments of Central Asiatic pattern seems to have made headway with many classes of Indian in North India The cut-and-sewn garments which are rarely visible in the previous Mauryan and Sunga sculptures are more commonly found in this period. The Kushans under Kanishka spread their empire over large parts of Central Asia and India. The Kushans in AD 48 entered Gandhara under Kadphises and overthrew the Greeks. Later they took the Kabul valley from the Parthians and extended their empire to cover the Punjab. Sind, northern Gujarat. and part of Central Asia. Still later they annexed Kashmir and part of Chinese Turkestan. Kanishka (AD 120-162) was their greatest ruler. Although the Kushans ruled for almost three centuries, they never looked on India as their home. Detesting the heat of the plains they retired to Kashmir or Afghanistan in the summer. They wore the clothes of Central Asia which were cut and sewn and consisted of long padded coals and riding boots with spurs and pointed caps, totally different from the draped and unstitched garments worn by the Indians.

Married couple Fozia and Fahim Siddiqui run Zam Zam Market, a popular Pakistani food market in Los Angeles. This family business, comprised of Fozia, Fahim, and their son Talha, serves curries, kabobs, barbecue, biriyani, and more authentic Pakistani fair that you can’t really find anywhere else. The Siddiquis explain how they made their way to Los Angeles in search of a better life, how Fozia and Fahim’s love for one another is the special ingredient behind their market’s success, and how the food at Zam Zam’s pays tribute to their own family’s history.

The next time I am in the west coast I am checking the place out
...I have been to this place when i was in LA last year.. Ended up going to Al-watan instead which is right next to it.I would advise you to try Al-watan, we had Chargha and Karahi some rice dish i dont remember..their servings are good and the taste is worth travelling out in suburbs .the owner and bearded server both from Multan were very friendly and offered a good service.

how?

turks arrived in india as far as im aware in the 12th century, the gupta image is from 4-6th century, i dont see your point how indian dress was imported from central asian turks.

your book quotation seem to be making dubious arguments, indian artistic depictions are laiden with both men and women wearing stitched clothings from veyr ancient periods, even before kushan as the author himself admits.

There was no India back then.
Central Asian people due to close proximity have been travelling to Indus/Gandhara region(present day Pakistan) even before the Indus Valley Civilization times..

Exactly, Aryans and other Iranics had been migrating to coterminus Pakistan in waves since antiquity.

Today, these Iranic groups form the bulk of the DNA of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Central Asian nomadic origin shows even now in various ways.

Hey dumbazz there is no such thing as “sikh paya,sikh kawab, nihatri or khichhra”.

Indians only embarrass themselves when they try to pass off their rudimentary knowledge of our cuisine and culture.
 
. . .
easy way for getting u.s h1b visa is that employer in u.s shows their govt that they want employees who are not currently available in u.s,asian skills like cooks for Pakistani food ,tailors who can make women clothes of Pakistan styles are rare in u.s so they qualify for this immigration type
 
.
Lol whole world is eating indian sikh kawab, nihari, barra, tandoori murgh, biryani, paya.
Its seekh kebab, nohari is made of beef, biryani (there are different variants and actually came from middle east. Tandori murgh? Paya is also beef and only sometimes mutton.

You arent even sikh let aloje claiming seekh kebab. You dumbazz!

indians were also travelling to central asia as well, there are indo aryan languages from hindi belt which are still spoken in central asia, thats not the case with the turkic or iranian languages, there are ypse people in europe which provs indians migrated far and wide in euroasia. another case is spread of buddhism, is there any remnant of central asian religion in indian subcontinent? dont think so.

@Bold Thats incorrect, Mahmud Ghazni captured Somnath temple in 1025BC

As for the Indian artistic images, how can you ditch scholars arguments over artistic images? The more i research the more i find that majority of the time both men and women used to wear clothing only waist down. Its actually during the gupta empire that they started getting influenced from neighboring countries.

Read up on the Gupta empire fashion.
