 Pakistani breakfast recipes are diverse and full of flavor. Here are two popular and delicious Pakistani breakfast dishes that you can try:


**1. Aloo Paratha:**

Aloo Paratha is a scrumptious stuffed flatbread with a spiced potato filling.


**Ingredients:**

- For the Dough:

  - 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)

  - Water (as needed)

  - Salt (to taste)


- For the Filling:

  - 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed

  - 1 small onion, finely chopped

  - 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)

  - 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  - 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

  - 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

  - 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

  - Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

  - Salt (to taste)


**Instructions:**

1. Prepare the dough by combining whole wheat flour, water, and salt. Knead until you get a smooth and pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.


2. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the filling, including mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, grated ginger, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander leaves, and salt.


3. Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten one ball, dust with flour, and roll it into a small disc.


4. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center of the disc. Bring the edges of the disc together to seal the filling inside the dough.


5. Flatten the stuffed ball and roll it gently into a paratha, making sure the filling is evenly spread.


6. Heat a griddle (tawa) over medium heat and cook the paratha on both sides with a little oil until golden brown spots appear.


7. Serve hot Aloo Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.


**2. Halwa Puri:**

Halwa Puri is a classic Pakistani breakfast combination consisting of semolina halwa and deep-fried puris (flatbreads).


**Ingredients:**

- For Halwa:

  - 1 cup semolina (suji or sooji)

  - 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)

  - 1 cup sugar

  - 2 cups water

  - 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

  - Chopped nuts for garnish (almonds, pistachios)


- For Puri:

  - 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)

  - Water (as needed)

  - Salt (to taste)

  - Oil (for deep frying)


**Instructions:**

1. For Halwa, heat ghee in a pan and add semolina. Roast the semolina until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma.


2. In a separate saucepan, combine water and sugar, and bring it to a boil. Add the sugar syrup to the roasted semolina slowly while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.


3. Cook the halwa on low heat until it thickens and the ghee starts to separate from the mixture. Add cardamom powder and mix well.


4. Garnish the halwa with chopped nuts and keep it warm.


5. For Puri, mix all-purpose flour, salt, and water in a bowl to make a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.


6. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin disc.


7. Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Carefully slide the rolled puris into the hot oil and fry until they puff up and turn golden brown.


8. Remove the puris from the oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel.


9. Serve hot Halwa Puri with Chana Masala (chickpea curry) or Aloo Cholay (potato and chickpea curry).
