sweet mango and almond murabba – | theindiaphile
[…] Dal-Pakwan is a rather cool thing that is eaten by most Sindhis for breakfast and it
consists of a lentil dish made of split chickpeas which is scooped up with a thin, crisp fried
bread called a Pakwan which resembles a Middle-Eastern Lavash. The lentil dish (dal) is

Hi again
You have produced yet another Sindhi masterpiece. I think you might have to inform
a non Beh eating person that lotus roots have to be cut at an angle while being chopped,
because a novice including myself might proceed to chop them like a potato.
The pic is lovely as usual

Muruku.

Belated happy Diwali to you and family, Alka!
Daal pakwan looks yummy! and i love that you topped the daal with dhaniya
chutney. That’s my favorite way to enjoy chana daal :).
We Punjus have something like Hatri too, it’s called Diwali, and is an earthen structure,
with the statue of Lakshmi ji inside and diyas outside.

Love dal Pakwan, now you make me want to make this and have. I was never fond
of Laai they used to make so many at home and I would wonder for what and whom
Reply

Delicious and mouth watering. The Laaii is as Sindhi as you can get. In lower Sindh
we call it Gurdhaani.
