Pakistani Groceries in Oklahoma City: What to Buy at Halal Mart

Shopping for Pakistani groceries in Oklahoma City? Halal Mart’s international grocery selection covers everyday pantry staples, breads, frozen favorites and sweets. Use this short list to plan your next visit.

Start with rice, flour and dal

Look for basmati or sella rice for your rice dishes, atta for roti, maida for recipes that call for refined flour, and besan for pakoras. Add lentils and dals for simple meals through the week.

Restock spices and cooking ingredients

Pick up whole and ground South Asian spices, masalas, cooking pastes, chutneys and achaar. Check what your recipe needs before shopping so you buy the right ingredients rather than another jar of something already at home.

Add breads and frozen favorites

Naan and paratha make useful accompaniments to curries and dal. Browse frozen kebabs for another meal option, and follow the package instructions for preparation and cooking.

Leave room for sweets and chai

Explore Pakistani mithai such as barfi, ladoo and gulab jamun, or pick up an imported sweet box. Kashmiri chai is another option to look for when planning a tea break or serving guests.

Build one meal before filling your basket

For biryani, start with rice, your preferred chicken cut and the spices your recipe calls for. For a simple dal meal, choose a dal, seasonings, naan or atta, and achaar. Add extras around the meals you actually plan to cook.
