Based at Brougham Street, Amaali is family-run and specialises in delivering authentic Asian cuisine for any event alongside working with nurseries, schools and businesses to increase cultural awareness.
Traditional Kashmiri cooking is called Wazhawan and is rich and aromatic with a wonderful flavour. Rice is the staple food and lamb, chicken and goat form the basis of many of the famous dishes.
Amaali’s experienced CRB checked facilitators can also deliver hands on activities such as Henna painting, dressing up and Arabic and Urdu writing as well as dance workshops to improve understanding of British born Pakistani/Kashmiri communities.

Our four-year old niece could not get enough of Amaali’s delicious vegetable samosas when she tried them at the Skipton Waterways Festival where Amaali had a stall. High praise indeed from someone who is usually quite particular about flavours and how she likes her vegetables (ie rarely!)
We can’t wait to try the following recipe for a traditional Indian dessert, which Yesmien from Amaali says always goes down a treat with little ones both in terms of making and then eating afterwards!

200g dessicated coconut; 50g icing sugar; 200g tinned condensed milk; Pink food colouring; Sugar strands; Mini bun cases
