Punjabi cuisine

Northern Indian cooking

Punjabi cuisine is the food tradition of Punjab, a region spanning northwestern India and eastern Pakistan.

It features hearty, richly spiced dishes often cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) or with generous amounts of ghee and butter.

Staples include naan, roti, dal, and dishes like butter chicken, saag paneer, and tandoori meats.

We grabbed Punjabi food after the movie.

Much of what Westerners think of as "Indian food" is actually Punjabi cuisine, which dominates Indian restaurant menus worldwide.
