@chyni

I'm Metis, Scandinavian and Eurasian and I haven't found a fusion of those existing.

So I technically couldn't really recommend anything...unless I separated my mixed heritage and gave one for each.

I don't know much about them though, tbh.

If I had to answer I'd maybe say mushroom turnovers, nalesniki or pyrajok, but I've never seen them exist outside my babas kitchen so.

Does it have to be from the country we live in or  foods from countries we have ties with?

Even though I lived in Canada all my life - I grown up with a lot of Asian food (East asian-Korean to be specfic) and South Asian food.  I'm actually been learning Korean for the past 3 years now starting in June 2020.   

If I was the cultural ambassador for my Korean culture is pulgogi (Bulgogi), Fritters, and the bachan (side dish) of kimchi

  1. Biryani: Biryani is a flavorful and aromatic rice dish made with basmati rice, meat (often chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices. It's typically cooked with yogurt, onions, and tomatoes, creating a fragrant and savory dish.

  2. Nihari: Nihari is a slow-cooked stew, usually made with beef or lamb, simmered overnight to enhance its flavors. It's seasoned with a blend of spices, including ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices, resulting in a rich and hearty dish often enjoyed with naan or rice.

  3. Seekh Kebabs: Seekh kebabs are flavorful, grilled or skewered minced meat, usually made with beef, chicken, or lamb. They are seasoned with spices, herbs, and sometimes gram flour, creating a savory and succulent kebab that is commonly served with chutney or flatbread.

These dishes represent a small fraction of the diverse and delicious cuisine that Pakistan has to offer. Each region in Pakistan has its own specialties, contributing to the rich tapestry of Pakistani food.
