Multan, often referred to as the City of Saints, has a rich cultural and culinary history that dates back thousands of years. Its location on the ancient trade routes has significantly influenced its cuisine, introducing a variety of flavors and ingredients from Central and South Asia. Multani food is renowned for its bold spices, exquisite flavors, and diverse range of both vegetarian and traditionally prepared meat dishes – though for this context, we will focus on the vegetarian aspect. The city's culinary practices also reveal influences of Mughal, Sikh, and British cuisines due to the historical rule of these empires in the region.
