Pasanda is a popular meat dish from the Indian subcontinent, notably North Indian, Hyderabadi and Pakistani, derived from a meal served in the court of the Mughal emperors. The word is a variation on the Urdu word "pasande" meaning "favourite", which refers to the prime cut of meat traditionally used within.

Pasanda was originally made with leg of lamb or Goat flattened into strips, marinated, and fried in a dish with seasoning. In Pakistan, the Pasanadays are usually made from Pot Roast Beef Fillets flattened into strips. In the present day, pasanda is also made using chicken and king prawns; in each case, the process and ingredients remain generally the same.

Although pasanda is usually served as a meat dish, it may also be prepared in kebab form. Reflecting the dish's flavour and its connection with the almond, pasanda also refers to a mild curry sauce made with cream, coconut milk or yoghurt and almonds
