In the plate theres samosas (triangle shaped thing with usually minced meat and potato filling or vegeatable and pototo filling), then theres some dates, some apple and some jalebi (extremely sugary fried thing, not healthy at all)

In pakistan this just is starters, the main course comes after, usually your rice and meat, or bread and meat
