Arabic platter made in Pahadi style
Pankaj told that usually hummus, pita bread, falafel etc. are made in a very different way in Arabic Meze Platter. He thought why not make it in a little Pahadi style.

At the same time, pita bread is made from Madua flour, which is very beneficial for health. Also, hummus is made from hill cucumber.
