    Aslam-o-Alakaum My Lovelies !!

     In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    Happy Spring Season!!

    It is quite sometime that I have not shared recipe on the blog. Not that I did not cook anything at all or I did not click photos, but just lost the mojo for writing somehow. I have been a bit busy these days but I’m back now and as soon as possible I will keep you updated.

    Kachnar(Orchid Buds) 

    On a fine spring morning while on my morning walk I was pleasantly surprised to see beautiful white and pink flowers in bloom. These were on some of the trees at Race Course Park. I stood under these tree for a while to feel its beauty. It sounded so incredibly unique and the words just came. Aww it does smell amazing!

    A mali uncle (gardener) shared some interesting information on this tree and its lovely flowers. The tree is called the Kachnar and the flowers are Kachnar flowers. The flowers of this tree vary in colour from white with pink veins to almost purple, and when in bloom it can take your breath away with its beauty and aroma. (SubhanAllah)

    According Wikipedia:

    It’s also known as the Orchid Tree and its botanical name is Bauhinia variegate.

    Tender Juicy and Flavorful Kachnar Gosht

    While buying some veggies at a nearby grocery store, I saw a bucket full of kachnar buds. And I noticed that many people are buying it. I suddenly remembered the childhood memories, how my father loved to eat Kachnar during the spring season. When we were young kids, this dish was a traditional meal at our home. It was bitter, so we used to hate it back then, but now when I know how much better it was from many de-worming medicines I just feel good that our childhood was much healthier and chemical free.

    I decided to give this vegetable or herb a try. As I love to cook, especially experimenting with different vegetables. They are relatively expensive as they are only available in spring for a limited period.  You would need closed buds to prepare its dish.

    My Nani(grandmother) who has more hands-on experience in preparation of this dish said the kachnar need to be washed very well before use to remove the bitter taste.

    When cooked, they taste a bit bitter. And are good with meat or as a vegetarian dish-that way you get to taste the real unadulterated flavour of this bud. You can faintly taste the perfume of the flower still captive inside the green sheath, and that is delicious.
