This is a collection of recipes that people seem to enjoy. These dishes are more likely to be found in the home rather than in restaurants or cook books.
Drahana
Also called Tirhana in Arabic, Drahana is a Middle Eastern food made from wheat dried with
milk and yoghurt. Served with pieces of Haloumi (a Mediterranean white cheese). Ingredients
can be bought from Arabic, Greek or Turkish grocers.
Khadi
This is a spicy Indian soup made with gramflour. This is made from ground chick peas.
Tharka is added for flavour. Ghee is an Indian cooking medium made from clarified
butter.
Gajaralla
A carrot based milky pudding from India. Cardamoms are essential for the flavour.
Afelia of Potato
Small potatoes cooked with corriander seeds and red wine.
Keema with Okra
Spicy mince-meat with ladies fingers.
Kofta with Eggs
Spicy meat balls served at formal occasions.
Shami Kebabs
Shami Kebabs are spicy melt in the mouth burgers and can be made with lamb or beef
keema (mince meat). They can be served either as a starter or an accompaniment to a main
meal. The kebabs make excellent snacks and are best served a very spicy mint chutney and
freshly baked naan bread.
Seekh Kebabs
Seekh Kebabs are made with keema (lamb or beef mince) and traditionally cooked in a tandoor
oven. They are eaten with naan bread also cooked in a tandoor. The kebabs can be served
as a starter or an accompaniment to a main meal with a variety of sharp chutneys.
Lohbia (Black-eyed beans)
Black-eyed beans are known as Lohbia in Pakistan. Traditionally, beans are eaten instead
of meat which can be expensive. These beans are initially cleaned to remove any stones
and grass matter, then washed. It is best to soak them overnight so that they double in size.
They are eaten with rice and have a pouring consistency similar to Tarka Dhal. I prefer to
eat them with roti (chupatti). Mint chutney and an onion salad is the best accompaniment.
Our Wedding Menu
This is a menu that we served to our close friends and family on our wedding day. It was
held in London on 14 January 1994. We hired a red double decker London bus, complete
with driver and conductor, to take us and our guests to the wedding.
