Title: All Dhal'd Up - Everyday, Indian-Ish, Good-Mood Food - Kamini Pather
Subtitle: All Dhal'd Up - Everyday, Indian-Ish, Good-Mood Food
Author: Kamini Pather
Description:
Offers ancestrally-inspired, modernized, healthy, and culturally fusion recipes for everyday cooking.
Kamini Pather first exploded onto the South African culinary scene as a participant and winner of the second series of MasterChef South Africa. Since then her life and cuisine journey has taken her down various paths, and although she always remains grounded and grateful to her heritage, she is not solely defined by it. As Kamini herself says, 'All Dhal'd Up is a collection of ancestrally-derived recipes that have been updated through ingredients and techniques - the old world has been given some fancy.'
The concept of good-mood food leans gently into health, while 'Indian-ish' is a perfect nod to her ancestry but fused with other cultures and their influence on the food she likes to eat. So although you will find traditional recipes, such as potato curry with nigella seeds, hot water roti and rasam, as well as the Sunday-standard meal of chicken curry, they are flanked by the delights of cauliflower rice lamb biriyani, pankocrumbed patha wraps, bacon dhal, pudhina hummus and rosewater ice-cream sandwiches with pistachio cookies.
Ever mindful of the demands of busy lives and consciences, Kamini has ensured that the recipes are simple to follow and are mindful of healthy ideals and sustainably sourced ingredients.
