You’ll finish it with barberries, almonds and pistachios for the perfect sweet-salty bite. On the side, you’ll cook a comforting chicken korma with warm spices and yellow split peas. For dessert, you’ll end with firnee, a creamy pudding made with vermicelli and milk-soaked pistachios. Book your spot now!
