Generally, in Pakistan, any cooked salty dish, to be consumed with rice or roti, is called "Saalan". This word is derived from "loon" (word for salt in Punjabi). "Moonh saloona kerna" is a Punjabi idiom, for taking something salty, after eating some sweet dish.

I think salan is what that has shorba, karahi has gravy and then there is tarkari. You can't just call all of them salan.

Haan, kai cultural and linguistic nuances hain I suppose that are distinctively either from one mulk or the other. NOt commonplace here at any rate to refer to any salty main meal as salaan.

Karahi is just a big pan to cook. We have a karahi chicken, very popular up north, they toss it in some spices and peppers and onions in a bit wok like aka karahi.

most places have a dry and gravy version of it, goes best with a tandoori roti.

We also refer to what's cooked in it as karahi too. Basically salan, qourma and nihari all has more liquid than karahi. No Pakistani would confuse these with each other.

Read also second para of my post, which I added later. Poetic word "saloni", used to express peculiar type of beauty, has also same linguistic root.

Ek angrezi ki kahavat hai "there is no accounting for taste"

that one was the least troubling of the lot from him tbph .. aap qawalli suno, pop suno, pork khao, chicken na khao.. whatever

his self righteous mean spirited-ness really ticked me off but

uss chewtiay ne sab ka decide kar ke rakha tha.. poora mulk ek hi time pe same khana hoga, poori awaam ek hi awaaz me same cheezon ko yes and no bolegi.. bloody insane DPRK style communism loving freak, that guy.

Noxy,
I read somewhere but can't recall that any caravan of Hazrat Khadija R.A which was undertook by Hazrat Muhammad SAW for business to different areas was never attacked by robbers, pirates, neither encountered losses through bad weather, natural calamities etc.

Have you read anything similar ?

I was actually looking into one of the oldest markets in KSA dating back to pre-Islamic times. This was OKAZ market. Trading would occur 6-7 days a week but there used to be a poetry concert (musshhaaaira) one evening every week, where the best poets would gather and recite poetry. Interestingly, Arab world has been fond of poetry and poetry was used in many ways not just conveying thoughts, but also praising someone or raising concern about someone or something. Poetry was a major way of communication.

This search then led me to a sahabi, Hazrat Hasaaaan R.A, who can be considered the first poet of Islam who used to recite Hamd and Naat, even using references from verses of Holy Quran. His way of talking, reciting poetry, his voice had almost a magical effect of sweetness. Such characteristics were expected from poets back then in the Arab world. The proper way of delivering poetry in front of a crowd, but Hazrat Hasaaan RA took it to an entirely different level of elevation when delivering his fondness for Allah and Hazrat Muhammad SAW through poetry.
