DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAKISTANI CUISINE AND LEBANESE CUISINE

Pakistani food items are heavy, spicier and tend to leave heartburn behind. The food is far more oily and is more focused on lamb, red meat or poultry curries. Pakistani cuisine is not originally passed down via generations but instead is an amalgamation of Persian, Arabic, British and Mughal cultures.

However, Lebanese cuisine on the other hand is light on the stomach in comparison and is a mixture of diverse culinary influences. These dishes are healthy, palatable and quicker to cook. Pakistanis use ghee or butter instead of olive oil which is essential in Lebanese cuisine along with heavy use of nuts. Likewise, there’s a transition in the type of vegetable both cuisines use differently.
