IMG_9846 Peshawar is famous for two things…. First the Pathans….lol….. and Second, the Namak Mandi . Those who are already aware of Namak Mandi will not be concerned, but those who have not been accustomed will be surprised to know that it is not ‘Salt’ that is sold in the Namak mandi but it is famous because of  LAMB/MUTTON KARHAI and TIKKA. They are using less spices in these dishes. Mutton Namkeen Karhai is very simple and special dish.
