Description

Summers Under the Tamarind Tree is a contemporary Pakistani cookbook celebrating the varied, exciting, and often-overlooked cuisine of a beautiful country. Winner of the Best First Book award at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2016, it is a testament to the rich and aromatic pleasure of Pakistani cooking.

Aloo ki bhujia (spicy potatoes with nigella seeds and fenugreek)
Hyderabadi-style samosas, filled with red onion, mint, and green chilli
Sweet potato and squash parathas
Attock chapli kebab (minced beef flat kebab with pomegranate chutney)
