Description
Join Kausar, author of “The Karachi Kitchen,” for an exploration of traditional Pakistani dishes inspired by her childhood in the port city of Karachi. Learn how to make Baingan bharta, smokey, charred eggplant in a spicy yogurt sauce and Qeema Matar, a regional staple made from ground meat that varies in flavor within every home. She’ll also prepare Palak Naan —a healthy twist to naan made with spinach on the stovetop and in the oven. No meal is complete without a pickle or chutney on the table, mango or mixed achar being the most common.
With poultry.
