Punjab, the North-Indian state is one of the most colorful and flavorful states of India. Every bite in Punjab is a delight.
May it be a simple dal at the highway dhabas or an authentic saag made in a traditional Punjabi kitchen.
Punjab is also known as the breadbasket of India for its gifts of parathas and naans to the world. Punjabi cuisine comprises dairy items, rotis, desserts, and fresh seasonal vegetables.
Punjabi food will leave you spellbound all through the year. If you are away from home and wish to try authentic Punjabi cuisine, here’s a list of our top ready-to-eat dishes, or as we like to call them, ‘The Gems Of Punjab’.
