About this deal

There is a disconnection between what is taken and enjoyed from other cultures and how people from those cultures are treated.

Asma Khan | Cookbook Corner | Nigella Lawson Ammu by Asma Khan | Cookbook Corner | Nigella Lawson

Packed with the vibrant, heart-warming recipes that have earned Asma hordes of devoted fans of her London-based supper-club-turned-restaurant, Darjeeling Express, it is also a practical guide to accomplished regional Indian home cooking. With its inspiration hailing from Calcutta’s Chinatown, Asma’s take on Chilli Chicken is certainly a crowd-pleaser.In Ammu, her mother describes the key ingredients of a good meal as the cook’s “generosity and patience”. Unlike the 35 other chefs that were profiled before her, Khan insisted on bringing the entire Darjeeling Express team into the limelight with her, making sure the producers included each woman’s name and the village she came from. From the final chapter, Becoming Ammu, Asma Khan delivers on her promise of recipes that are quick to prepare. But it was from there, in her south Kensington flat, that she set up a clandestine supper club in 2012. Food isn’t the only thing Asma has inherited from her parents – her father’s warrior blood shines through in everything she does.

Ammu: TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022 Indian Homecooking to

In this book, Ausma Zehanat Khan represents yet another secular ideal which we must pay attention to, and that is that minorities within our modern societies need special treatment.The Shahi Gobi Salaan is a brilliant vegetarian dish, it was super satisfying and great to have a veggie option with a thick gravy that is often reserved for meat dishes. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities. I also picked a few recipes from the celebration section which Khan describes as being prepared for weddings, birthdays and the like. Furthermore, as a woman she has also attained an incomparable point of view that very few can boast of, even from within that traditional context. It’s a compliment that roughly translates as having hands that hold a magic alchemy, which by south Asian telling can’t be learned by rigidly following recipes but is a gift one either has or hasn’t.
