Koshur Saal: Traditional, Quick and Easy Kashmiri Cuisine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If Kashmiri cuisine were a subject, this book deserves to be the required text ! It arrived yesterday and I am speechless after reading it. To call it a book is an understatement. Going through the first few pages itself shows the pains that the author has gone through, to make the reader well versed with everything associated with Kashmiri cuisine. From the Kashmiri, Hindi and English names of vegetables, utensils, spices to the detailed description on peeling and washing certain items( with pictures!) this book is a dummy's guide to Kashmiri cooking. While one may find many books with Kashmiri cuisine this book's USP lies in the way it connects you to the Kashmiri culture. There are details of the occasions on which particular dishes are prepared and even recommendations on where to buy certain vegetables (outside India). I didn't know I could actually find sotchal at a korean store! My cousin is getting married this year and is going to move to UK. Needless to say this book goes with her. I am sure she would thank me more than her own mother!
Thankyou Mrs Ganju for this wonderful book. Although I feel that the exteriors of the book (cover, pictures, paper/font etc) could have been much better...I am sure its unmatchable when it comes to the content!!

Living as we do in a multi-cultural world, nowhere are the pleasures that it brings more obvious than at the table, when we enjoy a feast of complex flavors and simple preparations.The book in your hands exactly does that. It tells you about the tasty and aromatic cuisines of Kashmir, the northern-most State of India, famous for its incredible range of culinary delights, guaranteeing a veritable experience to the gourmet. It also gives alternatives to deep frying of some of the recipes.The preparation of Kashmiri food in an efficient, healthy way can be just fun. It would hardly take you 10 to 25 minutes to cook a delicious meal, whose tempting, hot, spicy taste lends it a peculiar quality of its own and distinguishes it from the culinary arts of rest of India and the world at large.In addition, the book delineates not only the health benefits of foods we eat everyday but also provides the religious and cultural significance associated with the traditional Kashmiri food.
