The traditional breakfast in Pakistan is usually a heavy meal. There are several dishes:
- 'halva puri cholay' or 'halva puri', for short, consists of two separate dishes, 'halva', a sweet made from semolina, and aloo cholay, a spicy chickpea-and-potato curry eaten with 'puri', a small circular deep-fried flat bread.
- 'Siri paya' is eaten with naan (siri paya is a stew made of cow, goat or lamb's brain and feet. "Siri" means the head of the animal and "paya" its feet. It is considered a delicacy.
- Nihari is a stew made from beef or lamb and curry. Nihari is also eaten with naan bread.
- Lassi is a drink made from milk and yogurt, served in sweet, and rarely, in salty flavor.
Otherwise, parathas are widely eaten for breakfast; they may be stuffed with vegetables, chicken, beef or mutton mince or unstuffed eaten alongside fried or scrambled eggs or aloo(potatoes). Tea is served with breakfast.
In cities and other urban areas, eggs and toast with butter and jam are also popular. Another breakfast popular in urban areas in Pakistan is tea with buttered rusks and fresh orange juice.
In Karachi and Hyderabad, where Urdu-speaking migrants from North India are in majority, Shermal and Taftan are a popular breakfast item.
