Is your local cuisine has any food that resembles with the shared recipe?

Yes as I belong from Pakistan so obviously this cuisine match with my Pakistan cuisine but Pakistan cuisine and flavours differs from region to region in Pakistan so chicken karahi is very similar with chicken quorma which is my local cuisine because in chicken quorma we also add onions as major ingredient with tomato but in karahi we don't add onions and we only cook karahi with tomatoes.In chicken quorma,in some places and especially in my locality lemon juice is also added in little amount for giving more richness to recipe but in karahi we don't add lemon juice.Chicken quorma have most resemblance with karahi in all of my local cuisines that I have in my mind.

Which flavour or spice do you like from Pakistan's cuisine?

I am particularly from KASUR city of Pakistan so kasuri meethi is a common spice or ingredient used in different Pakistani cuisines and I like it's aroma but overall from Pakistan the most favourite spice of mine is coriander and cumin seeds because they give crisp and warm flavour in different recipes.Coriander seeds are mostly used in curries and cumin seeds are most used in rice like pulao and in simple zeera rice.
