Calling All Sheer Khorma Enthusiasts! ✨🍮

I need your help! I'm working on something exciting, and your insights will make all the difference. Sheer Khorma is Eid's signature dessert, a tradition passed down for generations—but how is it evolving?

Tell me—how do YOU make it? Let's talk about tradition, convenience, and changing trends:

🥄 Do you use pre-packaged Sheer Khorma mixes or pre-sliced nuts? If so, why? Convenience? Time-saving? Let me know!

👨🏽‍🍳 How many men in your household take part in making it? I'm curious to know if this tradition is shifting!

🌱 Anyone using non-dairy milk like almond or oat? Would love to hear why!

Drop your thoughts in the comments or DM me! Let's celebrate and document how Sheer Khorma is evolving while staying rooted in tradition. I can't wait to hear from you all! ❤️

Attention, San Francisco food lovers!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be in SF on September 14th to teach a special class at The Civic Kitchen featuring my favorite menu! 🎣🐟

If you’re a fish lover, this is a class you won’t want to miss. You’ll be actively involved in preparing two types of fish with a unique, aromatic spice blend you’ll craft from scratch. This hands-on experience will not only help you master these flavorful fish dishes, but also learn essential cooking techniques.

But that’s not all! We’ll be making two types of chutneys from scratch, and I’ll be sharing my exceptional naan recipe. Trust me, these oven-baked naans are not just delicious, they are as fun to make as they are to eat—perfectly soft, charred and flavorful.

Click on the link below to sign up! I can’t wait to cook with you and share these delicious dishes.

See you there! 🌟
