Hey people this isn't an update but there will be one later, this is just some information about the some of drinks and dishes that Pukhtuns eat and their table manners.
Every household would eat together on a large leather mat called a dastarkhan and this is done to this day. Before the meal begins a basin of water is brought in along with soap and a cloth. Starting from the head of household everyone will wash their hands and dry them. At the end of the meal this basin is brought in again but this time scented with rose petals or lemon. There are no courses, all the food is placed on the mat and everyone eats what they want. Drinks are served in clay bowls

2 cups plain yogurt, About 1 to 1 1/2 cups water 5 to ten fresh mint leaves
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until everything is mixed well, chill in the fridge for a few hours then serve. Or the alternative could be that ice is added to the blender, this way the drink can be consumed straight away. In some places they do not add mint leaves so it is not a problem if that ingredient is left out.
In Pakhtunkhwa they churn the milk and water together to make shumleh.
The other dish the one Sakina wanted is called Firni and it is a type of custard, made of milk, cream, saffron and cardamom and garnished with pistachios. If you want the recipe then don't hesitate to ask

One of the main dishes is meat and rice, the one that Afsana Bibi prepares. That too is relatively simple.
Another thing that if a guest arrives at the house of his host, the host will immediately serve him with whatever he has or the meal that coincides with his coming. So if he came in the morning he would be served breakfast.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask
