Hunza Gurgur Chai (Butter Tea)
Hunza Valley's ancient salted butter tea — brewed strong, blended with butter and salt until creamy and emulsified, served in a bowl and drunk piping hot. Surprising, nourishing, and one of the most shareable 'unexpected Pakistani food' stories you'll ever tell.
Phitti — Hunza Buckwheat Breakfast
A traditional Hunza buckwheat preparation — dry-roasted flour mixed with apricot oil and salt, served with dried apricots and walnuts. Note: the canonical Phitti is also made as a sourdough wheat bread; this is the buckwheat breakfast variant eaten in Hunza households. Both are authentic to Gilgit-Baltistan.
