Description
Location: Bari Imam, Islamabad, PakistanMost people who visit the shrine of Bari Imam, usually offer a Degh (Cauldron) of Pilaf to the Sufi Saint. This Degh is distributed to all visitors, rich and poor alike. Eating food that has been offered at the shrine is considered lucky as it has the blessing of the Saint, and never to be declined. There is a constant flow of visitors to the shrine and a constant flow of very delicious food. This has given rise to the business of cooking deghs around the shrine.
This is one of many such open air kitchens preparing Deghs.

In my youth, the colouring used was saffron. Now people skimp and use artificial food colouring

Mmm - saffron- or one of the spices used with it - tends to give me a headache!
