Rakhshanda Jalil concocts the traditional with a twist

Rakhshanda Jalil’s menu includes a kebab and an upside-down orange cake.

Everything is fresh this season, for author and literary historian Rakhshanda Jalil. Delicious seekh kebabs serve as inspiration for this weekend’s cooking plans from Jalil, who shares that his cooking takes on a new avatar during the winter months. “Winter cooking at home generally revolves around two axes: traditional recipes and adjustments to South Asian, Continental or West Asian recipes. Both rely on the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients and especially what I have grown myself. So in the first category are the dishes of my mother’s or my grandmother’s kitchen such as chuqandar-gosht (beet root and mutton) or shabdegh (large slices of turnip and mutton). Or methi-moong ki daal, daal-sa (palak with moong dal), rasawal (rice traditionally cooked in fresh sugar cane but now increasingly made from gur and fir accompanied by plump raisins and shavings of coconut). Then there are the winter pickles that I prepare every year: probiotic pickled turnips or beets with just crushed rye seeds. In the second category are, again, dishes and cuisine that use seasonal vegetables: such as hearty chickpea and sweet potato soups, sautéed winter vegetables, and stews made with chickpeas and sweet potatoes. harissa seasoning, ”she says.
