when Pakistani chefs/cooking show hosts make desi dishes and try to make it sound "angrezi"? The other day, I came across some videos of Sameena Jalil, the same cooking show host who came on Marina Mornings, and she was making aloo ki bhujia tamatar ke saath...So she could say just that, right? Wrong! What she said she's gonna make was POTATOES WITH TOMATOES AND CORIANDER. WTH? Not everything needs to be angrezified, you know! :ban:

whats ever funnier is when u go to desi retaurants and they have either the names of diff sections just totally overdone..like vegetarian section would be bagh o chaman.. like err dude wth.
my bro told me about some joint in London where the menu had some items with a common word...moog...they realized it was supposed to be murgh

I have not the faintest idea. Just saw it on the menu, and didn't feel brave enough to try it.
