Winter brings with it a crisp air and chilly evenings. The season calls for meals that warm the heart and celebrate the best of its kind. At Taftoon, we embrace the bounty of winter with dishes crafted to highlight ingredients that shine the brightest during this time of the year. All dishes are a tribute to the comforting earthy spices and rich, opulent traditions of winter cuisine from the Grand Trunk Road-from spices to seasonal produce.
Zafrani Qursi Kebab A Royal Treat For Winters
In our Zafrani Qursi Kebab, golden winter spice saffron catches the spotlight. This tender, saffron-marinated chicken dish is cooked to perfection and served with fragrant ghee rice. The warm, floral notes of saffron and the buttery richness of the rice make this dish an ideal indulgence for cold winter nights. It’s a perfect representation of how winter ingredients elevate Taftoon’s offerings to a royal level.
Doodh Jalebi: A Sweet Winter Nostalgia
There are few things as comforting as Doodh Jalebi during an evening when the chill is in the air. The crunch of the jalebis soaked in the syrup, with the warmth of unsweetened condensed milk, is the quintessential nostalgic dessert. This winter’s evening indulgence in a perfect dish of warmth and sweetness pays a nod to what such nights spend on such distant memories of rich, traditional flavors.
Bharwaan Kadhai: Vibrant Winter Vegetables
Winter is the season of fresh produce, and our Bharwaan Kadhai makes the most of it. This vibrant seasonal vegetable and chilies stuffed with a delicious tangy-spiced mixture, cooked in a rich onion-tomato curry. Fresh, bold flavors of the vegetables are a celebration of the abundance of the season, made into nourishment with indulgence in every single bite.
Moong Matki Dal: Comfort Food Prepared by Slow Cooking
Nothing says winter comfort like a bowl of slow-cooked dal. The yellow lentil, Moong Matki Dal, is cooked in a mud pot and tempered with tangy, crunchy spices. This makes the earthy flavors and hearty texture the perfect combination for winter comfort, bringing traditional cooking to the table.
Gucchi Pulao: A Rare Winter Treat
Winter is the season for gucchi (morels), a rare and prized ingredient known for its earthy flavor and meaty texture. Our Gucchi Pulao combines dum-cooked basmati rice with these delicacies, along with warming spices and a touch of dry fruits. The result is an indulgent dish that showcases the luxury of winter’s finest offerings.
The coming of winter at Taftoon is a chance to celebrate the best that winter has to offer in the form of dishes that are hearty, flavorful, and steeped in tradition. From the richness of the saffron in our Zafrani Qursi Kebab to the rarity of gucchi in our Gucchi Pulao, every dish tells a story of winter’s abundance and warmth. Come and experience these culinary delights this season as the flavors of winter shine on your plate. Noshe Jaan!
