Dinner time in Karachi. I
Dinner time in Karachi. I was on my way to eat at a steak restaurant with my local friend but we decided to stop off, on the way, for some local street food.
We pulled up next to a small truck that was selling chaat and pani puri, at Hassan Square in the Gulshan area of the city. It was surrounded by people who had just finished working for the day. It's popular for the local people to eat a snack at this time, to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, as they tend to eat dinner quite late in the evening.
The plates of mixed chaat contained chickpeas and potato soaked in gravy, vada, onions, crispy crackers, dahi (curd), tamarind sauce and masala. A variety of textures and flavours heaped onto a plate, costing a very reasonable 80 Pak rupees ($0.46 USD).
Everything on the plate were foods that I had eaten before during my travels in India. However, I'd never eaten this combination of those items all together.
They made the chaat just lightly spicy for me and asked if I wanted it more spicy. Instead I asked for it to be more sweet and they gave me another spoonful of the tasty tamarind sauce.
After demolishing the plate of chaat it was time pani puri time. They call it Golgappa in Karachi, just like they do in Mumbai, India. It seemed to have a different name everywhere I went in India. In Delhi it was known as pani puri and in Kolkata it was known as puchka.
The way the golgappa was served was different to what I'd tried before. It was served on a plate with an individual bowl of spicy water, for you to dip the puri into at your own pace. When I had pani puri in India, each individual puri was already containing water before it was given to me.
These puris also contained chickpeas and yoghurt inside. Previously I'd only tried them containing potato.
They were very tasty but very spicy. I guess they didn't have the ability to give me a 'light spicy' version, like they did with the mixed chaat, as the spice was already mixed into the water.
We then continued driving until we found a lassi shop for a tall glass of fresh sweet lassi. It was the first time that I'd had a lassi that was as good as the ones I'd been drinking in India. I've been to Indian restaurants in other countries but the lassi they served was never quite the same taste and thick texture that I was used to in India. Here, it was fully authentic.
We headed to the MMA gym to pick up the guys we were going to dinner with, including Ovais Shah who is the owner of the gym and an international fighter in One Championship.
It was good to get a further insight into how this sport is developing in Pakistan.
We went to a restaurant owned by the business partner of Ovais. It was an international cuisine restaurant with the name Sizzlerz, perhaps inspired by the American chain restaurant Sizzler.
There wasn't any Pakistan food on the menu. It seems that when Pakistani people go out to a nice restaurant they want to eat something that's different to what they are used to eating in their homes. However, these international foods are tweaked a little to be more palatable to the local Pakistani taste buds.
I ordered the 'fire steak' which was definitely Pakistan-level spicy.
