cheese were the right texture, with a slight crust on the outside. Equally as comforting and yet another staple in any Pakistani household is the infamous Karhai. Similar to the palak paneer, this dish has many different approaches. The way I was taught focused on the simplicity of the ingredients. Using fresh grated ginger and crushed garlic, along with fresh tomatoes, green chillies, and chilli flakes (or powder) plus a little salt and pepper makes this an easy dish to execute, and extremely tasty. The chefs over at BBQ Delights did justice to this tradition, and I can safely place the Saba Wahid stamp of approval on keeping it true to its authenticity! We stormed ahead and did our due diligence to the numerous suggested sweets, and I’m SO glad we did. The waiter first placed a colorful array of ice cream bowls down on the table. We had everything from strawberry, to a pistachio mint, and even a pistachio cardamom flavor. All are house-made and tasted as fresh as

they looked. Along with the ice cream we were served a South Asian favorite, Gulab Jamun. These little fried balls of dough are soaked in a sugary syrup scented with rose water, cardamom, topped with ground pistachios and slivered almonds. Super sweet and rich in flavor these were the icing on the cake for this unbelievable experience.
