Gli appassionati di cucina (etnica)

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 3 marzo 2021

Trovano nelle offerte mensili di Amazon dei volumi kindle in lingua inglese una miniera di pregevoli testi a prezzo stracciato (spesso meno di un caffè). Sono volumi riccamente illustrati e mediamente costosi: se venissero acquistati in formato cartaceo presso una libreria "di quartiere", come sperano i geni governativi italici che hanno ostacolato le vendite online di libri riducendo al 5% lo sconto ottenibile sul prezzo di copertina, tra cambio "librario", dogana e dazio si spenderebbe 50 volte tanto. E resterebbero in uno scaffale britannico. Invece chi vuole acquistarli in formato kindle (specie in offerta) puo' anche solo sfogliarli ("quasi gratis") godendosi foto e tavole su un tablet grande senza subire sciocche imposizioni dei geni italici. Apposto.

Spectacular and special

Recensito in Canada 🇨🇦 il 20 settembre 2022

I have no idea why it took me so long to discover this book! These are traditional recipes made special. Shami kabab is usually made with beef, not venison; kababs don't usually have potato in them; fish pakoras are not usually made with sea bream. If anyone is worried about it not being 'authentic', don't be: we maybe wouldn't eat like this day to day, but that is what the author was trying to achieve - and that doesn't mean the recipes aren't representative. There are tons of South Asian cookbooks out there, and this one stands out for what she's done with traditional recipes. It's not necessarily fusion either, it's just... grandified. (Yes, I know that's not a word.)

This is what I hoped several other books would be... notably Darjeeling Express, which I had to send back because it was too watered down, with the exception of one or two winners.

Quite a few of the recipes are complex but not too involved. You could use them on a weeknight but you probably won't - they are presentation-worthy dishes. As one other reviewer noted, this is not a book for vegetarians. (Case in point: one of the recipes is chicken stuffed with lamb.)

Wish there were a few more photos, but the ones that are there are beautiful. And props to Amazon for actually packaging this well - for once it an Amazon book arrived without damage!

It’s a no from me

Type khazana and other books by Sanjeev kapoor and a few other authors will pop up with the same title, luckily the beautiful bright yello cover catches the eye. Food photography/ styling is great although photos for all the recipes are not included.

Picture of salihas gran is stunning. Interesting to learn about the age of the Mughal’s too.
Looking closer I was a bit put off by the (con) fusion of ingredients with long titles.

There are ingredients used in the recipes which generally the Pakistanis don’t like or use eg: saffron, roses, rose / orange blossom water, nuts and fruits in savoury dishes, fennel,duck , game. We also don’t really cook fish apart from curry/ battered pakora.

Many of the dishes will be familiar with Pakistanis, Indians , Kashmiris and Bangladeshis.

Masala chai, samosas, biryani, pilau, missi roti, Nimki straws, spices nuts, cucumber raita, roghan josh, pickled onion, haleem, seekh kebab, rose sherbet, turmeric aubergine, lassi, paratha, carrot halwa, malai chicken bites, Chapli kebab, masala liver , shami kebabs , fish masala, fish pakora, curried prawns, saag and corn bread, spiced cabbage curry, scotch eggs (spotted some ketchup on the side😱)

Some of the dishes are going to be a definite no-no in my home (the Persian ones I mean ! Pakistanis are not that adventurous, even when we go out to eat we stick with Pakistani joints). Ones I won’t be trying are :
Honey roasted grapes, roasted fennel and pomegranate salad, anaarkali pommegranate shorba, spinach, yoghurt and walnut soup, pista samosa (seriously pistachio in samosas !) , Turkish delight , watermelon curry , rose ice cream, sandle wood icecream and most of the drinks.

I noticed manty featured in the book which look good but is served with a passata(italian) sauce . The turks serve theirs with a yoghurt sauce, Afghans serve theirs with lentil topping.

The vol au vents (French) Iook interesting.

Generally with the recipes there are so many ingredients, surprised there isn’t pommegranate in everything.

Altogether not sure how authentic the recipes, ingredients and cooking / baking methods are in this book.
I was worried it may be an anglicised version of Indian/ Persian recipes (spotted a Kashmiri recipe too : plum and almond chutney 👍

I have in the past brought books by summayya usmani which I returned as they were too anglicised.

The author has taken well know dishes and revamped them eg missi pancake is actually called missi roti.
Halwa carrot cake is a fusion of western style carrot cake and Eastern carrot dessert Called gajrayla.
Nimki straws are called namak paray

Panna cotta (Italian) has been given an indo Persian makeover
Didn’t know Ice cream and pastry were made back then either!

Most of the recipes I can make already so not that useful to me.

Attractive book, not very vegetarian friendly

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 11 aprile 2019

Acquisto verificato

I'll admit first of all that I don't watch Masterchef, I bought this book because I was intrigued by the idea of Mughal food and Amazon was offering it for a very good price. It's a large, beautiful book with lovely illustrations, but I haven't found myself cooking many things from it so far, mainly because I'm a vegetarian and it turns out to be a very meat-oriented book. This surprised me because I assumed Mughal food would be similar to Indian food which is extremely vegetarian friendly. In fact there are only a few dishes in the book which could be described as vegetarian mains and they're mainly Indian inspired dishes like cashew nut biriyani or mung bean dal. There are also some interesting vegetable side dishes although some of these were quite decadent; for example I was put off making the tadka carrot salad by the fact that it involved 75ml of oil. In general I would say the author isn't very interested in making her food accessible to vegetarians and vegans, as even some of the soup recipes specify meat stock. That's an observation rather than a criticism; if you love meat you will no doubt enjoy this book. The other observation I'd make is that the recipes tend to be quite elaborate, so not really something I can imagine whipping up after a busy day at work.

Excellent Cookbook

Fantastic cookbook, I'm really impressed with the recipes I have cooked so far - Chicken Thigh & Sour Mango Curry, Sticky Tamarind and Orange Salmon, Mughal Baked Cod Korma and Malai Chicken Bites are all amazing. We also enjoyed the Roasted Sweet Potato Dish and Sea Bream Pakoras. This book has made me really excited about cooking again and can't wait to try all the other recipes. Ingredients are easy to source from Amazon, Ocado and Waitrose. A lot of them I already have as I love Indian recipes by Anjum Anand. Saliha's recipes are much more subtle but really stunning. Can't wait for her next cookbook.

SUPERB: A MUST HAVE BOOK

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 11 giugno 2020

Acquisto verificato

Every once in a while you find a cook book that stands out from the crowd; this is one such book. It is written beautifully with equally beautiful illustrations and photography. The recipes are presented simply and result in dishes that are sublime. What is particularly good is that the ingredients for the dishes are not a mile long with ingredients that are impossible to track down. They have been cleverly adapted to what most people already have or can easily obtain. All the dishes are easily achievable and a lot of them would even be a good starting point for a complete novice. So give it a go. A must have book.

Good book

My wife loves this book. Some great recipes in here. Being from the indo-pak region myself, it’s great to see Asian cooking with a Persian twist and Saliha has been quite genuine to her roots. If there’s one criticism, I’d say there’s loads of pics of architecture / mosaics etc.. in a food book, I think having a recipe without an accompanying picture is a cardinal sin - thankfully there’s not many of these.

Absolutely spectacular!!

Every page of this book shows author’s passion towards cooking and experimenting with ingredients.

I am fascinated by the contemporary yet quick mouthwatering recipes in the book.

Detailing for the precise quantity of ingredients is really helpful.

The most commendable thing is that my nine year old daughter has actually read the whole book even though she is not into desi food at all.

My daughter is so impressed by the the design, colourful theme and easy to follows recipes that instead of making slime she has decided to take over the kitchen over the weekend, pick up a recipe and give it a go ... Ofcourse I will help but only as her sous chef😀.

Whole family looks forward to the culinary dishes over the weekend.

Great book ... great recipes .... part of my cooking routine already!

I tried three recipes from the book on one evening, and all three were exquisite. The fusion of Persian and Indian flavours work wonders.
