Something a little different: There's a Pakistani dish called haleem. It's essentially a big cut of beef pressure cooked for hours with lentils and barely and a shit load of spices. Then you mush it up with a giant wooden pestle. It turns into essentially a yellow-brown paste and you eat it with roti (a flatter, denser flatbread than naan cooked on a pan).

My wife introduced me to it when her mom made it once, and I absolutely adore it. I call it flavour goop because it literally looks like mush on a plate but it's absolutely jam-packed with flavour. Squeeze some lemons on top and some fresh onions and green chiles and I could eat plate after plate of the stuff.
