Islamic Food with Healing Touch gives a detailed account of how Persian, Turkish, Sufi, and Mughal influences have contributed to the enrichment of Islamic cuisine, keeping in mind the dietary laws of Islam. Each country has its own unique flavour, its own ingredients, and its own culture. Although the cooking differs with each place, there are some general characteristics like slow cooking over charcoal or baking in a tandoor that binds the cuisine together. With simplicity at its core, Islamic Food with Healing Touch, is the perfect guide for contentment and well-being, achieved through cooking right and eating right. The recipes here are carefully handpicked to provide natural health and healing through the use of nutritious ingredients. Whether you want to warm up with aash-e-joe (barley soup) or stick to the main course rubyan mishwi (prawns in tomato sauce) or round off a meal with lip-smacking sheer berenj (rice pudding). This book will show you how to produce the exotic taste and aromas of Muslim food in your own kitchen and will inspire you to create meals fit for a sultan!
