Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Kashmiri Pandits congregate, the conversation invariably veers towards food where recipes are discussed but some secrets also withheld. A favourite dish is invariably best cooked by someone in each family.

This book highlights this particular cuisine and includes many traditional dishes and also some that would surprise everyone. Keeme ki Barfi and Zaminkand ke Shahi Tukre will just add the extra sparkle to any chefs repertoire while the traditional Shufta and Kabargah will instantly make any Kashmiri Pandits mouth water. The collection of recipes is a treasure trove from Annapurnas own experience and from knowledge handed down from generations in the family. Each recipe has her special flavour and tried and tested over the years. The reader gets a window into the Kashmiri Pandit cuisine with the added benefit of being able to try them out with simple instructions and useful tips. The book, amongst other recipes, includes both vegetarian and nonvegetarian dishes, some special rice recipes, a low-calorie section, and something for those with a sweet tooth.

Download or read book Kashmiri Life Narratives written by Rakhshan Rizwan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-19 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kashmiri Life Narratives takes as its central focus writings -- memoirs, non-fictional and fictional Bildungsromane -- published circa 2008 by Kashmiris/Indians living in the Valley of Kashmir, India or in the diaspora. It offers a new perspective on these works by analyzing them within the framework of human rights discourse and advocacy. Literature has been an important medium for promoting the rights of marginalized Kashmiri subjects within Indian-occupied Kashmir, successfully putting Kashmir back on the global map and shifting discussion about Kashmir from the political board rooms to the international English-language book market. In discussing human rights advocacy through literature, this book also effects a radical change of perspective by highlighting positive rights (to enjoy certain things) rather than negative ones (to be spared certain things). Kashmiri life narratives deploy a language of pleasure rather than of physical pain to represent the state of having and losing rights.
Download or read book Saffron Plate written by Nancy Khosa and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes traditional Kashmiri Pandit cuisine in detail. The impetus for writing this cookbook emanated from a desire to preserve authentic Kashmir Hindu cuisine for our youth and coming generations. Nearly 300,000 of Kashmiri Hindus suffered an internal exodus in 1989 and none of them have been able to go back in the last 20 years. Most of these people have settled in various parts of the globe and their eating habits have had to merge with those of the host communities. Since most of the recipes for foods we eat and cook have been passed down to us by word of mouth I thought time had come for penning down these recipes while we still remember them. This book traces the history of origin of most of the ingredients used for various recipes described in this book and can be a reference book for anyone interested in the history of food. It also describes various infl uences on our cuisine from across our borders with neighboring countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Tibet, and China since the time of Nilmata Purana (6th century AD) to the current time. Recipes described in this book are easy to follow and the exact quantities of ingredients required have been determined by trying and testing these recipes in my kitchen. Most of the recipes have been pictorially illustrated. Some of them have been illustrated in steps.

Since she spent a good part of her life in Kashmir, her deep interest in things Kashmiri, be it culture, language or cuisine, developed with the passage of time. With her deep-rooted interest in spirituality, she is of the firm opinion that food we eat has long lasting influence on the thoughts we think. She fondly remembers that in Kashmir when she was growing up in a traditional Kashmiri Hindu home, kitchen occupied same sacred space as the place of worship. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Chandra believes that it is the method of cooking that adds to the quality of the food. For her cooking is an art and feels the need to create a right atmosphere. Good vibrations are needed to pass into the food while cooking. This goes a long way in ensuring a healthy, happy and genuinely spiritual family. Although right amount of ingredients are critical for food to taste good, a good measure of love and devotion added to the food can even change human behavior. Of late, she has also taken up writing plays in Kashmiri language, highlighting the decline of Kashmiri language and cuisine with a view to reviving the interest of the young and the old in the rich Kashmiri language. She fondly hopes, her present work will revive the taste buds of younger generation and introduce Kashmiri cuisine to wider cross section of people.

Download or read book The Flavours of Nationalism written by Nandita Haksar and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this memoir by an unashamed Indian, Haksar writes about how food shaped her awareness of politics, patriarchy, nationalism and socialism, from her childhood during the Nehruvian era onwards. She takes us on a thoughtful journey through India, from her Kashmiri Pandit family settled in Old Delhi and Lucknow, to human-rights activism on behalf of Nagas in Manipur; from grappling with feminist ideals, to considering the impact of a globalized food industry in Goa. On a wider scale, she explains how our tastes and attitudes to food are shaped by caste, race, gender and class, exposing latent prejudices and bigotry. Haksar explores questions posed by food anthropologists and ecologists, and revisits debates between Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi on inter-dining. She also addresses the present controversies over beef-eating, vegetarianism and ideas of Hindu vs. Muslim food, in a milieu where debate is silenced. With wry accounts of sharing meals with Burmese and Iraqi refugees, and arguing about bourgeois vs. proletarian tea in the Naxalite movement, the book also contains memorable recipes from the many people she has eaten with. At heart is her question that if Indians cannot imagine sitting with each other and sharing food with a sense of equality and respect, how then can a national unity be built?
