Hi Doug,

Thats a wonderful gesture for taking food for the Pakistani couple.
Yes, the Moghuls ruled India about a couple of hundred years ago, and
hence the influence of Moghul cuisine on Indian cuisine. India has
about 15% of muslims as part of its populations, even more than the
total number of Muslims in Pakistan. Thats why there are similarities
between the 2 cuisines.

If you want to take them a snack, kebobs will be easy to make. Take
ground meat (chicken or beef or lamb), add ginger garlic paste, cayanne
pepper, 1 egg, salt, cilantro, curry powder/garam masala, bread crumbs
and adjust salt.Marinate for half an hour and shape them into kebobs
(on metal skewers) and grill them at 375 F in a pre-heated oven. You
can also take some pita bread (warmed but not crisp) after applying
olive oil and dried rosemary and baking it for 15 minutes to make it
warm n soft. This will be a nice treat

I hope this helps you.

Ronnie
