PAKISTAN EMBASSY HOSTS CULTURAL AND CUISINE FESTIVAL
Ankara: 28, June 2024
The Pakistan Embassy in Ankara recently hosted a spectacular Cultural and Cuisine Festival that showcased the internationally acclaimed Pakistani Basmati rice. Held on the embassy lawns, the festival treated attendees to a sumptuous display of dishes representing the rich culinary traditions of Pakistan and Turkiye. Among the distinguished guests were former Turkish Minister for Agriculture, Dr. Mehmet Mehdi Eker, Mayor Ankara, Mr. Mansur Yava?, Member of Parliament, Mr. Burhan Kayaturk, diplomats, culinary experts, food enthusiasts, businessmen, and media representatives.
The aim of the festival, as stated by Ambassador Dr. Yousaf Junaid, was to strengthen the culinary bonds between Pakistan and Turkiye and to share the exceptional quality and rich heritage of Pakistani cuisine with the Turkish community. Chef Ali Hassan from Pakistan and Chef Yunus Coskun from Turkiye joined forces to showcase traditional and innovative recipes using the finest ingredients from both countries. In their speeches, the chefs divulged the culinary techniques and secrets behind some of Pakistan and Turkiye’s most beloved dishes.
One of the festival highlights was the tasting stations, where guests had the opportunity to sample a splendid selection of rice-based delicacies from Pakistan and Turkiye. The menu included favorites such as biryani, chicken pulao, zarda (sweet rice), kheer (rice pudding), egg fried rice, vegetable rice, dolma, sarma, icli pilav, etli nohutlu pilav, pirinc salatasi, and tavuklu nohutlu pilav. The combination of Pakistani basmati rice, known for its long grains, delicate texture, and aromatic flavor, with the addition of Turkish ingredients resulted in a unique and delightful fusion of culinary delights.
From the fragrant Pakistani biryani to the savory Turkish pilav, this festival was a true celebration of cultural fusion and gastronomic excellence.
