My incredible evening in Islamabad continued when I met up with Pakistani superstar Saman Ansari, who graciously cooked me an incredible spread of delicious Pakistani food! Join me as I learn more about this delicious cuisine and enjoy a home-cooked meal in Islamabad, Pakistan!

My night kicked off as my friend Sulmeen from Manaky took me to a secret location to meet with Saman. Saman is an acclaimed Pakistani actress who has appeared in numerous television series and theatre productions, including some work on Netflix!

We were greeted at the front gate by Ayesha, Saman’s best friend, who is a fan of my work! Then, inside, I met Saman. She was very kind and I loved the property, which is owned by a Pakistani chef named Nadia who is known as The Kitchen Story!

Saman would be making me three dishes in total! The first would be Dum Qeema, a smoked minced beef dish cooked with spices, tenderized with yogurt, and garnished with coriander and ginger.

We’d also have Soya Aloo, which is potatoes cooked with dill, garlic, and green chilies. It’s not a traditionally Pakistani dish, but it comes from her father’s family, who came from Uttar Pradesh in India.

Then, she’d make a combination of two types of dal with cumin, red chilies. She also made me some raita, which would help calm down the heat if anything was too spicy!

She started making the Dum Qeema in ghee, a type of clarified butter, and added onions and garlic.

The meat looked so tasty and juicy! She added yogurt, cracked black pepper, salt, crushed red chilies, cumin powder, and whole coriander seeds to it. It would be super flavorful but not spicy. The yogurt would tenderize the meat and make it smooth.

Then, she’d add tomatoes, turn down the heat, and place the lid on. Just before serving, she’d then add a tiny hot pot inside foil to the dish, put a drop of ghee in it, and let the dish smoke with the lid on.

Then, she moved on to the next dish, the Soya Aloo. Saman sliced them using a mandolin. She then added mustard seed oil, which you let smoke first. Once it cools, you re-heat it and add the potatoes, green chilies, garlic, and dill (which is also called soya).

Next, she thinly sliced some ginger for the garnish for the Dum Qeema and finished up the potatoes.

Once everything was ready, it was time to eat in the dining room. Saman set everything out buffet-style and even labeled each dish for me. I couldn’t wait to dive into everything! Their hospitality meant the world to me!

The Dum Qeema was fantastic! Then, I took some bread and tried the dal, which was also heavenly. The dill on the potatoes was so addicting. The meal was very light but full of flavor. There was also a delicious salad.

Mixing everything together was the best, though!

Next, we had a type of lemonade with black salt that contained ice cubes made from mulberry juice, lemon, and peppermint. The fusion of flavors was incredible, and it had a unique texture, too!

Finally, we finished up with lemongrass tea with honey to cleanse our palates after our meal. It was a wonderful way to end a delicious home-cooked meal!

Huge thanks to my friends at Manaky and the one and only Saman Ansari for an unforgettable night!
