Pakistani Fruits

[Zain Malik]

Oh maybe that's why you don't find many of Pakistani restaurants. New York and Chicago have so many Pakistani restaurants.

You make the roti or naan with the rice flour? Saag taste even more delicious with the bread made with corn flour. Have you ever tried?

Saag with the loaf made of bajra is eaten boost up the taste of it......Try that......

I heard of that bajra Ki roti a lot. But I don't feel like trying. :p

Yup, NYC is where I went to one Pakistani restaurant, London was the other. We have an Indian-Punjabi style restaurant about 1.2 hours from where I live that is pretty good.

I've tried making my own roti with wheat flour but it only turned out just OK. You really can't make naan without the oven so I stopped trying either and just use big, Sonoran style flour tortillas as a stand in. Works pretty well.

I can say you're a good cook. Watch a video on YouTube to make naan without oven. Maybe you find it useful.

Pomegranate
Punica granatum L.


Description

An attractive shrub or small tree, to 20 or 30 ft (6 or 10 m) high, the pomegranate is much-branched, more or less spiny, and extremely long-lived, some specimens at Versailles known to have survived two centuries. It has a strong tendency to sucker from the base. The leaves are evergreen or deciduous, opposite or in whorls of 5 or 6, short-stemmed, oblong-lanceolate, 3/8 to 4 in (1-10 cm) long, leathery. Showy flowers are home on the branch tips singly or as many as 5 in a cluster. They are 1 1/4 in (3 cm) wide and characterized by the thick, tubular, red calyx having 5 to 8 fleshy, pointed sepals forming a vase from which emerge the 3 to 7 crinkled, red, white or variegated petals enclosing the numerous stamens. Nearly round, but crowned at the base by the prominent calyx, the fruit, 2 1/2 to 5 in (6.25-12.5 cm) wide, has a tough, leathery skin or rind, basically yellow more or less overlaid with light or deep pink or rich red. The interior is separated by membranous walls and white spongy tissue (rag) into compartments packed with transparent sacs filled with tart, flavorful, fleshy, juicy, red, pink or whitish pulp (technically the aril). In each sac, there is one white or red, angular, soft or hard seed. The seeds represent about 52% of the weight of the whole fruit.

Origin and Distribution

The pomegranate tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe. The fruit was used in many ways as it is today and was featured in Egyptian mythology and art, praised in the Old Testament of the Bible and in the Babylonian Talmud, and it was carried by desert caravans for the sake of its thirst-quenching juice. It traveled to central and southern India from Iran about the first century A.D. and was reported growing in Indonesia in 1416. It has been widely cultivated throughout India and drier parts of southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies and tropical Africa. The most important growing regions are Egypt, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, India, Burma and Saudi Arabia. There are some commercial orchards in Israel on the coastal plain and in the Jordan Valley.

It is rather commonly planted and has become naturalized in Bermuda where it was first recorded in 1621, but only occasionally seen in the Bahamas, West Indies and warm areas of South and Central America. Many people grow it at cool altitudes in the interior of Honduras. In Mexico it is frequently planted, and it is sometimes found in gardens in Hawaii. The tree was introduced in California by Spanish settlers in 1769. It is grown for its fruit mostly in the dry zones of that state and Arizona. In California, commercial pomegranate cultivation is concentrated in Tulare, Fresno and Kern counties, with small plantings in Imperial and Riverside counties. There were 2,000 acres (810 ha) of hearing trees in these areas in the 1920's. Production declined from lack of demand in the 1930's but new plantings were made when demand increased in the 1960's.

Try Mango juice instead of Orange Juice and put extra bananas in it. You can also put some chickpeas .

I live in Idaho, in a small town on the Snake River. Very beautiful around here!

I actually make my own version of lamb saag which turns out pretty delicious! Basmati rice is easy to find but I have to use good flower tortillas for the bread as there is no place to buy it and you just can't make good roti or naan without the oven.

There is an indian restaurant in SLC called bombay house, It is decent. Another one called kathmandu is good too. Try these if u happen to be there.
