Which punjabi dish would you recommend for me to try?!
When you give your suggestion, could you give the recipe so I can start cooking it!? Thanks!. (Please give a rating of how hot/spicy it is, one star = mild, 5 star = your tongue dissolves)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
This is a very traditional Punjabi dish a dish that uses a lot of the typical seasonings!. It is hard for me to give heat ratings as I have eaten spicy all my life and generally order it as hot as it comes in a restaurant and then tweak it to suit my tastes!.
