The traditional breakfast in Pakistan tends to be a fairly heavy affair called Halva Puri Cholay or Halva Puri for short. It consists of two separate dishes, one of halva (a sweet made from semolina) and the other Aloo Cholay ( a spicy chick pea and potato curry eaten with puri - a small round deep fried flat bread. This would usually be accompanied by lassi, which is made from yoghurt and can be salty or sweet. The sweet option is often topped with malai, a thick fresh cream.
Breakfast is generally followed by Chai - a black tea with milk. In urban areas and cities the Western influence means that eggs and toast with butter and jam are becoming ever more popular.
