Retrieved 20 July 2019.Though her parents came from two separate royal families, she grew up in a very normal household. Her parents both worked – her mother ran a food business and Asma would spend hours in the kitchen helping her and household cooks assemble and serve the dishes that she would eventually come to make famous in her own right – authentic royal Mughlai cuisine that reflected her parents heritage. ‘My father is a Muslim Rajput, descended from a warrior tribe, and my mother is a Muslim Bengali,’ she explains. ‘It’s rare in India for people to marry outside of their own region, but it has been a huge, huge benefit to me, because I inherited the culture and tradition of two powerful styles of cuisine.’ Asma Khan writes intimately and personally about her family history and includes many photographs of her life from childhood up to her marriage. She draws in the reader so well that I found myself pouring over the photographs as if they were of a family I already knew. The food images are compelling too, taken by photographer Laura Edwards.

Khan’s loud and sensational arrival as “just a middle-aged housewife” seems to have come with a mission statement that demands respect for the food, culture and female cooks of south Asia. One that hasn’t always translated from high street curry houses, where dishes have often been bastardised for western palates. While the successes of Gymkhana, Benares, Dishoom and the like have revived an appreciation for how delicate and layered Indian dishes can be, south Asian restaurants often still have kitchens exclusively staffed by men in an industry dominated by them.

Asma Khan’s biryani has the power to make you cry. Not in the hyperbolic, internet vernacular sense, where food is considered “amazing”, “divine” or “to die for”. But I took a friend to the farewell supper club at Khan’s restaurant Darjeeling Express, before it moved to a new location, and somewhere between the ceremonial opening of the daig (the cauldron in which the biryani is made) and eating those first few spoonfuls of rice, my friend – a part-time DJ and a full-time cynic – literally began to cry. Asma was born the second daughter of a royal Indian family – something that comes with somewhat of a stigma in India. Daughters are often seen as a burden, particularly for families that cannot afford to pay for them to marry, and second daughters even more so. ‘A first born girl is sad – a second girl is a disaster,’ she says in a short documentary she made with the BBC in 2017. ‘I don’t think there was a lot of joy at my birth, because I was a second daughter.’ Refugees are treated poorly. People of colour and LGBTQ minorities [face] discrimination. There is a disconnection between what is taken and enjoyed from other cultures and how people from those cultures are treated.”

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. a b "Chef Asma Khan shares emotional lessons learned in the kitchen".

As a Muslim Indian woman who made “no attempt to lose my accent”, Khan has endured her sizeable share of prejudice and bigotry, so it’s unsurprising she’s so no-nonsense about shallow claims of celebrating diversity.
