of dubai what is sharjah known for china is known for some great pakistani food because so many pakistanis who live here and the food here is great so you're going to be enjoying i'm sure especially one of the great breakfast dishes of pakistan and so the puri are the pieces of dough which he like slaps out and then he tosses with a spin into the oil and immediately as it hits that oil it starts that hot oil it starts to puff up like a balloon and those are huge puris these are some of the biggest foodies i've ever you're seen hungry oh man this smells incredible oh dude they're huge wow you know that bubble wrap they're like they're like giant sized bubble wrap you just want to pop them and there it is they just serve so beautifully look at those signs so ali i have a quick question we had halawa puri in pakistan in fact it was my first meal in pakistan we had it on the streets of lahore puri but i don't remember ella's ever having puris that size is that something that's common or is that i'm really impressed by the skill level here and people in sharjah trust me you are having pro level pakistani breakfast here yeah look at the poories they're so big they're huge aren't they they're bigger they don't even fit in my face you can put your head inside of it it's like an inflated plastic bag except it's edible there he is yeah oh man and it said in dubai everything is great everything is grand and then this is helwa which is so it's called halwa puri the helwa is like a semolina sweet kind of almost a pudding or a paste but then if you want the salty versions you have a variety of curries this one is chana which is chickpeas and then a potato curry so you can choose sweet or salty one of my favorite places to eat food in the world on the hood of a vehicle get it the size of these puris will impress you yeah yeah and i love how one side is a bit thicker and one side is just literally transparent see-through so i'm going to dip into that that hello hello was the strategy first let's just take a nice chunk or something yeah we're the puri brothers we got that we got the halawa for the first bite yeah all right cheers guys cheers [Music] oh yeah oh it's pretty nice memories of pakistan oh man yeah wow the sweet semolina so within that that hello you can taste the richness of the ghee and then also a bit of a nuttiness i think there's some uh maybe some raisins also or some dried fruit as well as uh like almonds in there oh that'll start your day off strong just get that energy started out nice the hallway is good but it's a little sweet for me so i always prefer the chana and yeah this this the chickpeas the chickpea curry oh and immediately just stirring that around you can smell that aroma oh all the masala oh man yes that's the joy of life right there [Applause] oh that's my that's my dip of choice right there that is nice some it's definitely potent like the green chili in there all that spice and pepper richness the pepperiness the chickpeas just have this starchy melt in your mouth like dissolving texture to them breakfast of champions yeah move on to the potato curry you can see the coriander in there you can see again that

seed in there the potato has sort of half dissolved to the point where it's making making the gravy it's very making the gravy it's soft it's tender yeah the doudou is awesome i think for me but it's

just slide it off oh look at all the masala oh that's chicken and the potato that is going to have a lot of flavor it's got to be the beauty honey that we start with this is the mutton there's potato oh it's so soft and warm oh man oh you feel the tenderness of that one you can just squeeze it between your fingertips oh so supple [Music] for me it's a cloven pepper and i love how it's just loaded with that soft masala oh it's like saturated with meaty juices which have absorbed into every grain of rice he threw it in the air before it landed on the plate it won the airborne potato let's take some of that oh the biryani bros this is really good you're so right oh peppercorn alright all the potato melts in your mouth without exaggerating it's the softest potato i've ever had this is really really good for you man yeah the spices are so balanced so balanced so fragrant unbelievably fragrant fragrant smooth fluffy rice full of flavor next level man sorry my friends from lahore biryani belongs to karachi you scoop out as much as you can brain scoop let's all go in so we have scrambled masala brains oh man just soak it up oh you make us feel the gooeyness of it yeah so soft the brain masala grows [Music] oh it's actually quite bright bright and creamy and spongy the texture is actually like scrambled eggs it's green from the alley we're saying green from the coriander and the range korean mint and coriander so it's an herbal greenish yeah it's not like a chili greenness it's so thick and you gotta make sure that naan is just like so curated so you get the full flavor [Music] wow that's the real deal so good that's the reality yeah it's not it's not spicy but you taste that herbal mashup oh and it has this like slight tartness to it wow that just like balances the whole richness yo when we're in pakistan i don't remember having green chicken never had pinch that's why i i thought it was a must man this white might be the highlight dish here is you're missing something so do you think this would be a some kind of a special dish from a certain region or did they invent it i think in dubai because seeing dubai there are different nationalities people from all over the world are living here sometimes even the pakistani chefs they mix and match you they create different flavors they kind of have influence from a variety of countries and then for sure so this i believe has been interest from thailand awesome for sure yes yeah that's amazing spectacular don't miss the biryani but also don't miss the green chicken [Music] ginger some of the [Music] time for me to go into my signature position the signature position and that position shows that if i go into that position the food is really nice look at that full relaxation time this is a signature pakistani style of how we relax after having our meals man this brings back so many great memories that we've always done right here [Music] [Applause] [Music] step out of the car and immediately you can smell the fried fish and spices aroma in the air next up fried fish food let's do it right there healthy option oh wow look at that rich masala on there skin fish kingfish which one is this fillet filling green berries this is the catch of the day right here all lathered in a thick layer of masala you see that orange color the turmeric in there the spices okay fish and pumpkin that'd be my choice [Music] [Applause] [Music] and literally like people order the fish then they come over to this window and kind of see them as they deep fry the fish and he just tosses those fish into a bubbling gigantic wok of bubbling oil masala just starting to smoke up starting to caramelize man it smells great [Music] oh oh yeah one there there it is it took like five minutes and you have a whole platter of deep fried fish incredible oh man oh and so the seating is across the road mamamachi dining room so along with the fish salad chutney interesting story around this fish that you know this restaurant is basically serving pakistani fish but it's run by kerala people from kerala india okay so actually this story is that this restaurant was started by a pakistani but later on when he got sick or he had to go back to pakistan he gave the restaurant to his staff or his colleagues from kerala india okay and they're still running it and serving pakistani recipes yeah it's being served by people from india the dry rub dip yeah just dip it in that chutney that's a mint chutney right a little mint chutney [Music] wow it's just like a soft fish ball moist and crispy and flaky and juicy oh it's juicy masala oh man oh it's so plump it's so firm and um meaty how's that guys oh he fried it only for about five minutes making sure not to overcook it making sure it wasn't yeah dried out at all man it's so moist yeah it's really cool how they score the fish so as much deep friedness and as much masala can go directly into the fish oh you can feel the the juiciness of that it's addictive oh it's so juicy oh man [Music] this one is even better it's so soft so juicy it's so amazing oh man oh wow yo that's just like an explosion of fish juice and oil into your mouth [Music] yeah i'm loving the fish and we still have one more to go yeah we're going in oh you feel the oh you can already feel the juices and oils squeezing out of that oh look how juicy that whoa whoa look at that
