Makki Di Roti

* This is a northern state of India which carries its culture with pride and pomp, with wonderfully bright turbans worn by the gents and equally bright salwar kameezes worn by ladies. * The richness of their clothes is reflected in the richness of their jewellery, hospitality, food and festivities. * Punjab ! The name is synonymous with luscious gravies, vegetables rich with creamy and aromatic spices. * The sweets are lavishly garnished with chopped and slivered and sliced spices, while gravies are made rich by the use of ghee and cream. * Their breads like naans, parathas, etc. are soft, buttery and melt in the mouth. * Many people abroad identify Indian cuisine with Punjabi food. For them, eating indian food means eating naans, gravied vegetables, curries and pulaos. * Therefore, with great joy I bring to you a sample of the versatile cuisine of Punjab.
