Yes yes I know there’s a red kidney bean with turnips recipe up on here already, but bear with me and you’ll see why all of us need this updated version in our lives. Ahem. So the last recipe I put up here, while amazing and everything, I think I was in a bit of…
Saffron carrots.
I have a complicated relationship with carrots. Not just with carrots to be honest, but let’s focus, ahem. So here’s the thing: I really like fresh, raw carrots. I mean they’re sweet, flavourful, crunchy – what’s not to like – (can you sense a *but* coming? Well done!) but I really don’t like carrots when…
Ginger Biscuits
Muscle memory. So, you know I was supposed to fly back home this week, after two and a half years. And now I’m not. So, you know I’m obviously not doing great. Anyway I thought let’s try and get into the spirit of the season a bit – distract myself etc. So, you know we…

Which is almost as deep and abiding as our love for lamb. Monjje, and monjje haakh – on their own,…

Seriously. This shockingly easy recipe is completely fool proof and practically cooks…
Kashmiri Spring Greens – Tchatte Haakh
So if you had to pick one dish that you would then have to eat everyday, what would it be? Yep. One dish. Every single day. I know the first thing that’ll probably come to your mind is probably something elaborate and beautiful and rich – ristas! biryani! korma! – yes? But every day? Forever?…
Kashmiri Fish with Vegetables – Gaade (with step by step pictures)
So, honestly, I have often wondered why Kashmiris don’t eat more fish. The place is full of fresh water lakes and rivers. Fresh water fish, everywhere. And given conclusive proof of what we can do with just one ingredient – umm, hello Wazwan? – I have always thought it strange that there is really only…
