Product Information

We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. For more details, please consult the latest information provided by Royal Mail's International Incident Bulletin. Ammu is a collection of recipes from Asma Khan's childhood, her Indian family kitchen. It is a celebration of where she comes from, of home cooking, and the inextricable link between food and love. It is also a chance for Asma to honor her ammu--mother--and to share with us the recipes that made her and rooted her to home. This book is a joyful celebration of memories of food, and its power to heal, restore, and comfort. It includes her ammu's comfort food from childhood, the recipes with which she was taught to cook, celebratory food for special occasions, and slow-cooked recipes passed through the generations of her family. On the one hand, these are supposed to be family recipes, not restaurant recipes, so it doesn't make sense to critique it in the same way. These recipes are less balanced than I'd expect from a restaurant like Darjeeling Express, but... maybe that's the point?

food, legacy and the lessons her mother gave her Asma Khan on food, legacy and the lessons her mother gave her

Who’s the author? Asma Khan is an award-winning chef and food writer. Asma started a supper club from her home in 2012, and since then she has been revolutionising the UK food scene launching a pop-up restaurant in Soho in 2015 and the acclaimed eatery, Darjeeling Express, in 2017. She is famous for her home-style Indian food and her all-female team. I had to make some adjustments (no onions) due to current dietary restrictions, but I thought this was incredibly delicious. There was just the right amount of fenugreek to perfume but not overwhelm the dish. I used ground byadgi chile and whole sannam chiles and I thought the heat level was perfect. Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe. This cookbook hits all of my must-haves: unique cuisine that I’m unfamiliar with (Bengali), clearly presented ingredients and recipe steps, photographs of each dish, and wonderful written explanations. Ammu is a collection of recipes from Asma Khan’s childhood, her Indian family kitchen. It is a celebration of where she comes from, of home cooking, and the inextricable link between food and love. It is also a chance for Asma to honor her ammu—mother—and to share with us the recipes that made her and rooted her to home.Ingredients: minced beef; minced lamb; onions; fresh ginger; garlic cloves; ground turmeric; chilli powder; green chillies; chaat masala; eggs; yoghurt; mint leaves It is interesting to read that Khan’s mother, Ammu, was herself a pioneer in challenging the patriarchal restrictions by which women continue to be constrained. She founded a food business in India and Khan is the heir to her recipes. Asma has furthered her mother’s legacy and, through food, has worked to develop how women are thought about whether in domestic or professional kitchens. The book itself contains a variety of recipes that Asma loved from her childhood and she evocatively describes her memories of each dish so as to underscore its importance in her personal development whether as a child in Kolkata, Hyderabad and Madras, or a student at Cambridge University. The recipes traverse a number of regions and bring to the table a variety of dishes with influences from Bengali, Afghan, Mughlai and Turkish cuisines. To make the masala, dry roast the cumin and fenugreek seeds, cassia bark, cloves, cardamoms and peppercorns in a heavy-based pan over a low heat, stirring until they turn a few shades darker. Tip them onto a plate and leave to cool. Grind to a powder, using a spice grinder or a pestle and mortar. Chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author Khan (Asma's Indian Kitchen, 2018) takes readers on a walk down memory lane as she presents her family life, the foods her mother made for her, and the food she enjoys cooking as a mother herself ... The recipes—which are easy to follow and mostly accompanied by tempting photography—include mouthwatering dishes such as aloo bonde (potato balls) ... and mini lamb koftas with mint-yogurt dip. Showing readers the connection between food and love, this book is highly recommended for families that cook together and beginner chefs seeking to recreate their own joys of enjoying food with family. Booklist Asma's restaurant is rightfully legendary — and I think that makes it hard to evaluate her work critically.
