Washington, June24: In an effort to popularise Kashmiri delicacies in the US, a book on aromatic cuisines of the valley has hit American stores this week.
Written by Chandra Ganju, a lawyer by profession, the book "Koshur Saal: Traditional, Quick and Easy Kashmiri Cuisine" teaches preparation of Kashmiri food in an efficient, healthy way.
"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,"the publisher, Seaborad Press, said in a media release.
"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,"it said.
Ganju, who spent a good part of her life in Kashmir, moved to the US in the year 1993 and has been living in Florida ever since. |
